You can't. If he does not have full mental capacity, he legally cannot give a power of attorney even if he physically signs one. Once someone cannot manage their own affairs sufficiently to give a valid power of attorney, the only alternative is to go to court and ask for an order assigning a conservator to take over the person's affairs.
