Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Pennsylvania

I received a refund check from my father's nursing home who passed away. I was his power of attorney and the check is made out to me. Can I keep the check or do I have to turn it over to his estate?

Power of attorney ends at death and is not relevant./
