A POA is someone who represents a live person who is unable to represent themselves. Therefore if grandma is deceased, there can be no POA. The mother can be the executor or personal representative of the estate or the trustee of a trust (if the house is in a trust) but she cannot be a POA.

I think that you do not have enough information to ask questions.

How long ago did the death occur?

What state is this in?

Check the county courthouse probate website online to see if the will has been submitted for probate. If it has been probated, check and see who the executor of the estate is.

Maybe the other co-beneficiaries/co-owners want to sell the house. Your girlfriend needs to ask the executor and the other potential co-owners of the home what their intentions are--are they willing to continue letting her live there or do they want to sell the home?

GO read/ copy the will ...details matter a lot...if she was granted a life estate she may be able to stay there forever provided she keeps the place up.
