If someone is incapacitated, it means that they are disabled or being held back in some way. Mentally incapacitated, therefore, means that someone can't think properly or there is something wrong with their way of thinking.
This can be used as an informal term (for example, someone who is multitasking and stressed may say they are mentally incapacitated), to mean that someone is mentally ill or developmentally delayed, or as an insult to mean someone is unintelligent.

How can you get power attorney from incompetent father?
If you mean that he is incapacitated to the point where he is mentally incompetent to know what he is doing in signing a power of attorney, you cannot. If he cannot comprehend the nature of his actions, then he cannot lawfully execute a POA. IN order to get control over his affairs at that point, you will have to have him declared incapacitated or incompetent and be appointed his guardian.
Should your dad's live-in fiancee become his guardian now that he's incapacitated or is it a conflict of interest since he holds the mortgage?
It depends on the type of incapacitated. If he is capable of paying a mortgage, he is probably not in need of a guardian. If he is mentally incapacitated to the point that he needs a guardian, he is probably not going to be able to consent to a marriage, and therefore cannot have a fiancee. But no, the fact that he owes a mortgage to the bank does not present a conflict issue for his fiancee to be a guardian.
