Powers of attorney are only effective during the person's lifetime. You will need to petition the probate court to name you the executor or personal representative of your mother's estate.

Under the law, once a will has gone through probate and executor is appointed, should this be sufficient to access bank accounts?

As Executor of an estate, you will receive "Letters of Appointment" which is signed by the judge and which informs others, including banks, that you have the authority to collect the assets of the estate, pay all owing debts and taxes, and distribute the remains to the heirs. The bank should accept that document in place of the death certificate.

I would suspect that your mother will be asked to pay off the credit card judgment as part of the conditions for the reverse mortgage. She should speak with an attorney.
