Before issuing a protective order under this chapter, the court shall consider the interest of creditors and dependents of the protected person and, in view of the disability or minority of the protected person, whether the protected person needs the protection of a guardian. The court may appoint a limited guardian to assist in the establishment of any protective arrangement or other transaction. All persons acting under a protective order have the authority conferred by the order and serve until discharged by the court after reporting to the court all matters conducted under the order.
