To sue the deceased, his creditors would sue his estate. If no estate has been opened, the creditors could open one. A power of attorney stops at death, it no longer has any effect. To inherit the deceased property, you would have to open an estate.

You may need to open a probate estate for your father to deal in order to transfer the house to his child/children. Is the bank suing for the mortgage or who is suing your father? I would advise you to consult with a probate attorney to help you and direct you on how you should handle this matter. I would be happy to discuss your matter with you and assist you if you would like.
