Answer 1

You can grant Power of Attorney to someone else, which allows them to make financial decisions and manage accounts on your behalf.

Answer 2

You may want to check with the county courthouse to see if someone has filed to become your conservator.  It may be that someone in your family or in the county social services has filed conservation papers regarding your ability to care for yourself financially.
