Answered on: 5/27/12, 5:15 pm by Richard KaplanThe power of attorney expired upon your mother's death, so it isn't of use now.
What you need to do is examine her assets. If her assets were jointly, ITF/ATF, or named a beneficiary, then the surviving beneficiary can get a death certificate and receive those assets.
If it only had your mother's name on it, then probate probably will be required.
My recommendation is to seek an attorney, like myself, who provides a free consultation to review the matter fully and give you the proper directions of what is needed in your particular situation. Then you can proceed as required.
If I can be of further assistance, please let me know. 888-475-1732 (though I am on vacation until the end of the month).
