Specifically, NO rights whatsoever.

The POA dies with the issuer and unless you are specifically named in his will as executor (and even then doubtful) you have no further duty.

do i have to become conservator or guardian before his death.

YES.

If he doesn't have a will you need to help him get one prepared with a lawyer's assistance.
