In reading OP, it would appear that signer is willing to sign but is unable to do so. I could be wrong, but I don't think this case merits an elisor appointment. If there is no POA in place, perhaps the courts could be petitioned to grant/assign an agent to act as attorney-in-fact going forward?
Amanuensis is recognized in California. But it can be difficult. Hope you're working with a well-versed attorney on this. It's not mentioned in our Notary Handbook.
