Hi JWB,
I'm including a link to an AgingCare article regarding a letter of competency. It appears as if what you are asking for would be a statement from your physician using this same format, but to declare that your loved one is no longer able to perform necessary tasks with a sound mind. Hope this helps.

I believe you will need a letter/note from two different physicians stating that your patient is incompetent.
I believe there is no form.

A letter is all we used attached to the petition for guardianship.
