If a patient is not competent to manage financial affairs, the older person can have a conservator appointed by a court to manage their financial affairs for them. A guardian is appointed to manage their personal affairs, and a health care proxy is appointed to make health care decisions on their behalf. A social worker may offer support and resources, but they do not have legal authority to manage financial affairs.
