Legal advice: Dad's got dementia - how can I make decisions about the farm?

Dear Stephen, 

I have been farming with my father for 15 years in partnership. However, my father is elderly and has been diagnosed with dementia and is now in a care home. I have spoken with his doctor and they were of the view he is not a position to make his own decisions anymore.
