Re: power of attorney
If they're already incapacitated, and no power of attorney was done while they had capacity, a conservatorship would be needed from the probate court.
Re: power of attorney
You will first need to obtain a conservatorship over the person. The issue is that they are incapable of understanding the legalities of the document itself, therefore the Conservatorship is needed first.
