Is it possible to incorporate security deposit collection after a parent death into Power of Attorney doc.?

Question

How should such cause be formulated to enable me to collect? Is it legal for rental property management company to forfeit my parents security deposit afther the death if I hold Power of Attorney?

Answer 1

If I read you correctly, you hold a Power of Attorney from a deceased parent.

The Power of Attorney expires when the Principal dies. It is basically useless.

The proper party to claim the deposit is the Estate. Were I holding such a deposit, I'd be reluctant to refund it to just anyone, including a family member, I'd want something from the Probate Court saying who should receive it.
