Help your brother report to Adult Protective Services and change the names on his bank account. Document everything the children have said and done.
He can name you his agent under a Durable [Financial] Power of Attorney.
If an application for guardianship is filed, you can oppose it, oppose the appointment of his children and offer to serve yourself.
