Your approach will need to be to file for coservatorship of person and estate to have you appointed as her conservator. Obtain the assistance of a probate attorney who specializes in conservatorship proceeds; the paperwork is exacting and needs expertise of a conservatorship attorney; the attorney will need two to three medical declarations of incapacity of your mother to have a basis for filing the petition for conservatorship of your mother on your behalf.
