No, when they died you ceased to be their agent. Besides if the estate gets a bill it can't pay due to lack of funds all the creditor gets is a "So Sorry" letter.

As an agent you can actor on their behalf. But you are no liable for any contract you made as their agent. Further once your parent's died so did the POA.
