The Power of Attorney does not apply now, as mum has died. You MUST go through the formal process now.
Does mum have over about £20,000 or own any property (Yes/No).
Did mum leave a will?
Are you an only child?

When my mum died, I seem to recall that the bank insisted on seeing the original death certificate. I would check with them first. However, no urgency, be kind to yourself and take one job at a time.
Thinking of you,

As mum has left a will, then the executors of the will need to apply for "probate" and then they will have to tell the Land Registry that mum has died. Whilst you can live in it as long as you want, that suggests that there is a trust, or that it is owned jointly.
This may be a bit complicated, I would urge you to take legal advice.
