No. A Power of Attorney dies with the death of the grantor.

A power of attorney does not make someone the estate representative, which is governed by state law. But in general, unless someone is specifically appointed in the will or by court, then whoever is in actual or constructive possession of any property of the decedent is the personal representative. In other words, formal paper work is not generally required.
