A Power of Attorney only allows the agent, working for whomever authorized it, to take actions on behalf of a living person. Once that person dies, the Power becomes null and void.
There are 2 methods to administer a decedents estate, with a will or without one. In the former case, you must possess the original will signed by 2 witnesses and notarized. If that cant be found, an estate can be opened without one. However, the beneficiaries will be governed by intestacy laws which dictate who may inherit.
I trust this answers your questions, but do not hesitate to call or email me on a free initial basis.
