You may be too late.
A person must be legally competent to sign legal documents.
Plus, a power of attorney can be revoked by the person at any time. Therefore, even if you had one, it might not "work" now.
I urge you to talk to a probate/estate planning attorney immediately. Or, an attorney that does a lot of elder law. It is definately work the cost of a consultation.
If he's in the hospital, perhaps the hospital can refer you to someone.
