If she is competent, he will not be able to get guardianship. Are you sure he isn't trying to get her to assign him POA.

With guardianship he will need to report to the state how he spends her money. I think he has to see her and make sure she is healthy and seeing her doctors. He will need to keep good records. As a POA there aren't the same restrictions and the possibility of frauding her.

Is there a POA assigned? If not, maybe you should have her assign you. To get guardianship it costs money. Mom has to be found incompetent to make informed decisions. The court then decides if he should be guardian. Mom will need to be present and you could be there to contest guardianship. See if there is a way that she can have it put in writing now that there is no way she wants this family member ever declared her guardian.
