Will a power of attorney given by a deceased during his lifetime still be effective in relation to his property after his death ?

No ! An ordinary power of attorney loses its legal force upon the death of the person making it. Only an irrevocable power of attorney, which deals with the rights of a third party, remains legally valid after the person making it has passed away.
