What Are The Requirements to Become Power of Attorney?

My aging father is an abuser of narcotics. What do I have to do to become his power of attorney? He is very uncooperative.

An adult child can not legally force a parent to grant the child the parents power of attorney. A guardian may be appointed for any person defined as incapacitated. Determination of incapacity can be established by satisfactory evidence.

The Chancery court has jurisdiction over all matters of guardianship.
