How do you obtain power of attorney for a mentally ill family member to keep them from leaving a medically necessary environment?
You cannot 'obtain' a power of attorney. A 'POA' can only be granted by the individual who is voluntarily granting that power themselves, to someone else. It cannot be coerced or it becomes illegal and invalid. You CAN obtain a court ordered "guardianship" over someone who you believe to be mentally/physically incapable of taking care of themselves or their obligations. You must petition the court and a hearing will be held to determine if the person is, or is not, legally competent. You must show the court good reason (probably including medical/psychiatric testimony) as to why it should order that person's individual rights taken away and given to you.

Louisiana your husband had a stroke and his kids are trying to get power of attorney?
If the husband has become mentally incompetent as a result of the stroke, he would not be considered mentally competent to grant a power of attorney to anyone. A power of attorney that is granted during the time of one's incompetency would generally not be considered valid. If a person is mentally incompetent, an interested person could generally petition a probate court (in the county in which the mentally incompetent person resides) to have a guardian of the person and the property appointed.

No. Only a competent person can execute a power of attorney, so (by definition) a mentally disabled person cannot execute a valid power of attorney. What would be necessary is the court appointment of a guardian for the brother. Of course, any proceeds from the sale of the brother's property would go first to repay the State of California for his care and the rest would be set aside to pay for his future care.
