As I understad the question I am reading it as so. Your father had a power of attorney over your bank account. Your father died and you wish to find out what has happened regarding your bank account. First your father would no longer be your attorney in fact do to his death. If this was something that you did you can often revoke a Power of Attorney and then you would have full control over the account. If this was court ordered do to some sort of legal incapacity that made you unable to handle your financial affairs a new POA needs to be assigned and they can take over your account.

Answer: In some jurisdictions if there is some proof that the account was made a joint account only for purposes of convenience then the assets in the account would become a part of the estate.
