No such thing. Has the estate gone to probate?

Power of attorneys are not for decedents. To administer an estate you would need to Petition to be Personal Representative if one has not already been assigned.

A Power of Attorney dies with the individual. If you want to be personal rep to administer the Estate you have to file a Petition as stated above. Seek Legal Counsel to assist you.
