Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

My mother is elderly and in the hospital incapacitated. It looks like she will be moving out of her home and into a boarding house to take care of her personal and medical needs. I am her son and looking to temporarily take over her affairs ( i.e..., mortgage payment, bank accounts, bill payment, handle/liqidate personal assets). In the near future I would like to get a will drawn up for her so these types of affairs can be handled with expedience.
