There is no such restriction. Although, from a practical standpoint, if you live far from her, you may have some difficulty conducting estate business and/or using the power(s) of attorney.
It can be difficult being an Attorney in Fact (Power of Attorney) for someone in another state. No law against it, but it can pose some problems. If you become her Executrix, her Personal Representative, then depending on some things, there might be a requirement of the posting of a bond. Definitely see a lawyer in Indiana to get clarification and guidance as to what is best to do.
