You need to file a petition with the court claiming Incompetency. You will need reports from two doctors to back your claim. Once you establish guardianship, you will have full power to handle all affairs

Generally physical disabilities will not disqualify someone from handling their own affairs. Mental impairment is necessary to trigger the need for a guardianship.
