Re: didnt sign papers
No. You never were, and now, you never will be. A power of attorney terminates on the death of the party giving power of attorney. You may apply to the probate court to be appointed personal representative of her estate. A personal representative has broader powers than a power of attorney, but you must also make an accounting to the court for everything you do as personal representative.
