All your father`s estate would pass to his wife if he had one, failing that then down to his children and their children before his siblings have a claim

Without a will, it is left up to the probate court to decide who gets the money if anyone. He will have to settle all his debts and clear the estate first. get an attorney.

Having power of attorney does not mean she is executor of his estate. There are Federal taxes that will have to be paid so you need to start asking questions.
