You need to check with an attorney and fast. Go on line to National Elder Law Attorneys and find one in your area. Good luck

That is a very interesting question. For most couples there is no "his" money and "her" money -- there is only "their" money. So, if Daughter got guardianship of Mom, what money does she have at her disposal for Mom's care? It would be interesting to hear from people who have seen similar cases.
