None. A power of attorney is only valid during the life of a person. You would need to establish a trust with a successor trustee to handle the estate.

Ken is right. There is no power of attorney valid after a person's passing. A durable power of attorney remains valid when a person is incapacitated, but it does not last beyond death.
I am not sure why you are asking such a question. Perhaps you might want to refine your question to get a more helpful reply?
