You need to talk to local counsel because this issue will be complex depending upon the resolution of the criminal case and the charges involved. Due to the complicated nature of this issue, I am unable to provide guidance over the Internet.
Generally you can file with the court for guardianship/conservatorship, depending upon the case situation. Guardianship and conservatorship can be a complicated issue that I would not recommend attempting without an attorney.
