Too late now to get a PoA. That must be signed when the person is alive.

Re: Power of Attorney
A power of attorney won't help you. A person must be living to grant the power, and the power dies with the person. If you need to pursue insurance, then you will need letters of administration (assuming no will) or letters testamentary (if there is a will.) There are a few other alternatives, but they are fact specific. Feel free to call me at the office if you want to discuss this further.
