Acknowledgment of Disclosures and Authorization
By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:

The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

Mostly Independent
Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
Your post is a little confusing... did she actually pass away or not?
We're not attorneys or accountants. This is an anonymous, global forum about caregving and not legal matters. Since you say "I am suing the company" then if you are in the process of suing, then you should ask the attorney who is working on your case, or ask an attorney before you launch headfirst into this suit.
My mom passed away I had power of attorney and was beneficiary on her life insurance policy do I have power to collect proceeds from a case - AgingCare.com
You raise a lot of issues; let's see if we can separate them:
1. Beneficiary on a life insurance policy affects that policy but doesn't allow you to make decisions on other non-insurance related issues.
2. If your mother dies, only the Personal Representative (f/k/a Executor or Executrix) has the power and authority to make decisions, unless there's a trust involved.
3. Why are you suing the company (which made the device)? Was it determined to be defective? I hope your medmal attorney did a thorough analysis, b/c medical devices are implanted to serve specific functions. If one failed, there may be liability, but I also remember a period when one of the manufacturers did have a somewhat defective product, although I don't remember if a re-call was issued.
4. On what do you base the conclusion that the device apparently wasn't effective, failed, or didn't serve its purpose? Assuming you're suing under medmal statutes, I hope your attorney has a cardiac expert lined up, b/c that's what you'll need to establish (a) why and what condition was the implant done? (b) How specifically did it fail? (c) what were the results of the preceding pacemaker readouts? (d) what other factors affected her health, and (e) what specifically was the cause of her death?
5. Who specifically is the Plaintiff? You? On what basis are you suing? Surviving daughter? Executrix of her Will?
Whether or not there will be proceeds is something that can't be predicted, as no one knows the basis and strength of your case.
As to other issues, I haven't done any work in this field for years, so I don't recall if you can sue as a surviving daughter. If you're suing, this is something you should ask the attorney handling the case. It's really not possible to analyze your rights as not information has been provided.
This is for GA. If she sues couldn't her Moms estate be the plaintiff?
No being a beneficiary to her insurance policy gives u no authority. You POA stopped at death.
It takes a lot of money to sue this type of company. They have lots of lawyers. It could go on for years. What was the device implated? A Pacemaker? A Defibulator? There is no guarantee these devices will keep u alive. When the heart goes it goes.
