Your query is pertaining to sign in your father's behalf while he's alive. There are financial interests linked and staked with such authority as well. Administrative assistance is desired but what about joint succession planning? You haven't mentioned if you have any siblings and what are their interests into anything that you're about to administer or redeem? therefore, it may invite legal disputes later on. It's advisable to approach Civil Court having proper jurisdiction, alongwith all the stakeholders and siblings into your paralysed father's property and place on record, the medical certificate of disability following such paralytic attack and / or medical professionals' opinions as regards his limited or negligent movements and limitations due to such unfortunate medical condition. The Civil Court may invite responses from other stakeholders and siblings regarding such scenario and may appoint the next keen as his legal guardian. Then, with witnesses and relevant compliance of applicable laws, you may proceed to administer the same as signing guardian and continue as signing authority on behalf of and within the consent of your father. The Civil Court may require more details and robust medical opinions from experts before passing favourable order, but this is a sure shot way to save a lot of legal trouble and still be able to stand by your consenting father during his difficult times as a responsible son. May your father get better soon. For more details, feel free to connect.

There are multiple ways to solve the issues you are facing. One of which is definitely a Power of Attorney. But in my opinion, one should consider different solutions to be put into execution in consultation with every concerned authority wherever your father's signature would be required to deal with different aspects of life.
