If I had Power of Attorney for my mom before she died, how do I become Executor after death if no will was left, and I need to take care of IRS/Financial issues and File a Final Tax Return in her name?

You would become Administrator if you were to initiate a probate case. Your power of attorney is now worthless.

You need to file a petiton to be named as administrator of the estate. It would be beneficial for you to hire an attorney, and the fees are paid at the end of the probate from the estate, not from you.
