Where you authorized to use via Power of Attorney and did her will say you were the sole heir to her assets? That's the only way you would be authorized to use her account.

Okay, how were you authorized and are you're the sole beneficiary now ? If you are the sole beneficiary I would present information to the bank so there can be no misunderstanding. Is there an executor of the will ?

Yes a lawyer is the executor of the will. But I was not sure about accessing the money

You will have to ask the executor of the will if you can access the money.
