Re: Insurance policy
Probably nothing. Your power of attorney ended with her death, and the life insurance proceeds pass by contract. You should at least let the insurance company know of your aunt's death, and where the beneficiary is being held.
I'm assuming that the 'living will' is a physician's directive as to what to do in the event she's terminaly ill. If it's a living trust, then whoever is the trustee should follow the terms of the trust document.
