The fact that you had Power of Attorney during someone's lifetime doesn't have any bearing on whether or not Probate is needed after their death. If the deceased owned assets in their sole name and their Estate is worth over a certain amount, you will need to go through the Probate process.
An Executor is the person you name in your Will to take care of your affairs after you die. A Power of Attorney names a person, often called your agent or attorney-in-fact, to handle matters for you while you are alive. Generally speaking, your Power of Attorney ceases to be effective at the moment of your death.
A power of attorney (POA) is a legal document giving one person (the agent or attorney-in-fact) the power to act for another person (the principal). The agent can have broad legal authority or limited authority to make legal decisions about the principal's property, finances, or medical care.
Once someone dies, one cannot get a power of attorney for that person. In this case, you will have to get an order from Probate Court to obtain the assets from the bank.
The difference is literally life and death. The agent serving under your power of attorney only has power and authority to act during your lifetime. Conversely, the executor is a person who is appointed by the probate court to close out your estate when you pass away.
Although the executor represents the interests of the estate and has a legal duty to fulfill the wishes of the decedent as expressed in the will, the executor is the attorney's client. In other words the attorney who represents the executor does not also represent the interests of the beneficiaries of the estate.
