Yes. The POA expired at the moment your mother died. Your sister has no power over your mother's assets. You need to petition the probate court to be appointed the executor. Once you have been appointed you will have full authority over your mother's assets and the settling of her estate.

A POA automatically becomes null and void at the death of the grantor. The deceased person's estate (assets and liabilities) are then under the jurisdiction of the probate court in which the deceased resided upon death. If no executor was named in the deceased's wil or no valid will exist, interested parties can file with the probate court to be appointed executor and/or the court can appoint someone if there are no 'suitable candidates' for the position.

A Power of attorney expires immediately upon the death of the principal. If your parent has died the POA is no longer in effect. If your parent left a will naming your sister as the executor the will must be submitted to the probate court. The court will review the will to determine if it is valid under state laws. If it is allowed then your sister will be appointed the executor if no other person objects to the appointment. Once she has been appointed by the court as executor your sister will have the authority to settle the estate according to the provisions set forth in the will, according to the state probate laws and under the supervision of the probate court.
