Generally speaking, your Power of Attorney ceases to be effective at the moment of your death. Your agent can only take care of your affairs while you are alive. After your death, your Executor should take over.

Factors such as the size of the estate, outstanding debts or will disputes can significantly extend this period. For smaller estates, Ohio offers simplified probate options, which can expedite the process.
