When the principal dies the power of attorney is extinguished and an estate representative must be appointed. An executor is appointed by the court if the decedent left a Will. A person isn't an executor until the will has been allowed by the probate court and the court has appointed the executor.You need to consult with an attorney ASAP who can review your situation and explain your options.
