Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New Jersey

Power of Attorney

I had power of attorney over my mother for the last few years of her life. She has been gone now for over 2 years. Now my brothers are asking to see the bank statements from her bank account durning that time period I was POA, via an attorney. Do I have to provide these statements? Can their lawyer request them from the bank? I've closed the estate account a few weeks ago.
