Either the person signs papers to allow you to manage things or you go to court and convince the judge that the person is not competent to manage his own affairs and the judge appoints you to do so.

Contact a solicitor who will draw up the papers. The person who is granting the power must then sign the document and this signature must be witnessed. The person(s) who are to have power of attorney must also sign the documents and their signatures are also witnessed. The powers available can be restricted if so desired or left entirely open. A power of attorney will cease if the subject becomes mentally unstable through ageing or illness. An enduring power of attorney can be obtained which bypasses this rule and allows a continuing administration of affairs by the attorney. The process costs about £100.00. If you engage a solicitor. You can do it yourself if you obtain the pre-printed paperwork (available online) but be careful this is a very sensitive area. Other family members and friends can become very upset if this is not handled sensitively and openly and is seen as having been done in some clandestine manner. If you go down that route tell all interested parties what you are doing.

You should plan ahead of time though, she can sign it over now and then when paper work comes up you wont have to worry about her signing it, you can make the signatures for her.

You can get the Power of attorney only when you are entitled to it by the person himself. However, You have to file in the Supreme Court for a committee, one who decides on financial and legal matters for someone who is not mentally capable to do so. Furthermore, you would have to prove that the person is actually not mentally capable by providing doctor's certificates. For reference see the link below:
