(c) Limitations on the powers of a guardian or conservator or on the property subject to conservatorship must be stated on the letters of office. If the court appoints co-guardians or co-conservators, the letters of office must specify whether such co-guardians or co-conservators may act independently, whether they must act jointly, or under what circumstances or with regard to what matters they may act independently or must act jointly.

(d) The court at any time may limit the powers conferred on a guardian or conservator. The court shall issue new letters of office to reflect the limitation. The court shall give notice of the limitation to the guardian or conservator, individual subject to guardianship or conservatorship, each parent of a minor subject to guardianship or conservatorship and any other person the court determines.

(e) The judicial council shall prepare a basic instructional program concerning the duties and responsibilities of a guardian and a conservator.
