Power of attorney ceases with the person, so while you have to send this with the probate form, it has no leverage now. You don't need a solicitor. Once you have the probate authorization the you might want to post a Section 27 notice in the Gazette but otherwise you are free to approach the bank to release the accounts. Keep good records though! I am going through all this at the moment too, the oath swearing is literally a few minutes. You shold be able to get away with doing the simple tax form by the sounds of it, rather than the full one.
