As conservator you will be able to proceed in court against the person who misappropriated the funds. A conservator should be appointed to handle your cousin's money. A guardian generally only handles the persons healthcare and self care. You may be the correct person to be appointed conservator. It must be done by filing a petition with the probate court requesting same. Please contact me if you would like to discuss this matter in more detail.586-580-8850
