He may be willing, but is he able? If he has the legal capacity to contract, he can sign a Durable Power of Attorney. But if he needs you to direct his assets, he probably no longer has this capacity. You must then become the conservator of his estate. Contact the local probate court for a list of guardianship attorneys or find an elder lawyer near you using the website of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (www.naela.org).
