As an heir you have the right to petition to be appointed the executor of the estate if there is a will and no other executor is named, or the administrator of the estate if there is no will. The estate must be probated in order for title to the property to pass to the heirs. You should consult with an attorney who specializes in probate law in your state. A Power of Attorney is extinguished by the death of the principal. Your cousin has no authority over the estate.
