Only your mother can sign her Will. Only your father can sign his Will. Depending on their levels of legal capacity, your father might be able to become your mother's guardian. Consult with a local elder law attorney who also does estate planning. You can find one near you on the website of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (www.naela.org).
