When an adult is incapable of making decisions about their own life, a conservatorship can be a way to help them. A conservator takes responsibility for the conservatee's personal life and/or finances, making sure the conservatee is taken care of.
In Britney Spears' case, her father and a lawyer were named her conservators in 2008 after her very public breakdown. They controlled both the personal and financial aspects of Britney's life until 2019, when the lawyer stepped down and Britney's dad temporarily relinquished his conservatorship over her personal life to a "care manager."
It's back in the news now because this arrangement is temporary, set to expire on Aug. 22, 2020. A judge might renew it, but some fans are convinced Britney wants out of the conservatorship entirely, going as far as trending "#FreeBritney" in an effort to show support for the Princess of Pop. Here's hoping it all works out for the best.

A conservatorship is granted by a court. It will override a power of attorney.

Check with your States Laws on Conservatorship as opposed to Legal Guardian.
Depends on the laws where you are and the arrangement with the uncle.
To establish conservatorship, you generally need to file a petition with the court outlining the reasons why it is necessary for someone to be appointed as a conservator for an individual who is unable to care for themselves or manage their affairs. The court will then hold a hearing to determine if conservatorship is appropriate based on the evidence provided. If the court agrees, it will issue an order appointing a conservator.
Some civil rights remain with the person under a Conservatorship. However, all but very few basic civil rights are given to the general Conservator. A person under conservatorship retains those civil or constitutional rights not specifically given away by the court. The person under a Conservatorship retains such rights as the ability to hire an attorney to challenge the Conservatorship or seek redress and the power to release medical records,There are different sub-types of conservatorships in different jurisdictions. Generally, a Conservator of a persons estate is responsible for handling the financial affairs of the principal. A Conservator of the person is appointed to make decisions about personal physical needs such as residence, clothing, health needs, food, admission to a nursing home, etc. The civil rights retained by the principal may vary under the various types of Conservatorships.
Of course not. A conservatorship is allowed by a court. No one but the court has the right to "take it away" from the conservator. The step-children can petition to have the conservator removed and replaced. It will be up to a judge to decide. You should consult with an attorney who can review your situation and explain your options.
That is going to be a complicated issue. You will need the help of an attorney in your state or other jurisdiction who understands the family law in your area.
