I would recommend getting yourself a consult with a local real estate attorney.

I believe that your power of attorney ended with his death. How did the two of you hold title on the condo? (It should say something like Jack Brown and Joe Smith, as joint tenants, or tenants in common, or something like that.)

Yes, a POA expires death.

If you can establish that your ownership is shared as Joint Tenants (or JTWROS), in many states, the termination of a decedant's joinmt interest is a simple matter of filing a form. alomg with a fee and certified copy of the death certificate.

Come back and say exactly how you hold title together.
