The financials are one thing. But since her three children are minors, ascertaining her wishes for their guardianship should be a high priority. Normally this is specified in a will and that's where ideally it would be documented. But if that's not possible then at least understanding her wishes verbally would be a pretty important thing IMHO.

Make sure any safe deposit box is emptied (then closed if you are POA) before she goes.

I was fortunate that there were a few months after my close relative was diagnosed prior to their death so they were able to leave written lists of all their accounts/passwords.

They have become surprisingly opinionated on social media since their death.
