No, the awarding of legal guardianship or a conservatorship over a human being requires the services of an appropriate court of law. It cannot "be done simply by forms off the internet then notorized"(sic).
Better see a lawyer about this situation who understands the law of guardianship and conservatorships in the Commonwealth.
