Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

Sister-in-law died in Texas. Intestate. Divorced. No will. Only a written, notorized document naming me to receive her estate. I live in Florida. Her assets are a trailer (paid for) and a car (paid for.) No life insurance. Small savings account.

Question: Should I obtain a Power of Attorney that will give me the OK to sell/disburse her very small estate? Are there other steps I should take in this matter? I plan on flying to Texas to settle this issue and appreciate your feedback.
