If last year my parents were granted co-guardianship of my brother but my mother has since died, how can I now contest the order of guardianship regarding my father?

My brother is an incapacitated adult. I want to either removing my father 100% or add myself as co-guardian. It was my understanding that my father was only given the co-appointment because of relationship with my mother and because no one contested. About 4 months ago, our mother suddenly passed away. I would prefer having my father completely removed and then having our aunt and I appointed as co-guardians. His criminal record disqualifies him from appointment -prostitution 2008, crime of sexual nature. At the time of her death, my parents were divorcing and she was requesting support for him as from my father. Can I pursue that as well if I get guardianship?
