Please guide me, does Power of Attorney remain in force, after the death of the person who has made the power of attorney ?

POAs expire upon the death of the grantor (the person giving the power of attorney). A power of attorney is worthless after death.

NO. Power of attorney means that you're able to take an action that the person granting it would. If they're dead then they could not take an action and thus a power of attorney does anything. To have power after death one must be named in the will to be the person in charge.

And those decisions are to be made by the executor of the will or the admionistrator of the estate. POA expired with the person

No, never.
A power of attorney, whether durable or not, ends with the death of the grantor.

If you're named the executor of the will you can handle distribution of the estate, otherwise it goes to probate.
The POA/DPOA are in force while the person is still alive.
I recently went through this, it's difficult.
