the conservatee, subject to Section 1876, to enter into transactions
or types of transactions as may be appropriate in the circumstances
of the particular conservatee and conservatorship estate. The court,
by order, may modify the legal capacity a conservatee would otherwise

all transactions authorized by the order, the conservatee obtain
prior approval of the transaction by the court or conservator before
exercising the authority granted by the order.
(2) A provision that the conservator has the right to avoid any
transaction made by the conservatee pursuant to the authority of the
order if the transaction is not one into which a reasonably prudent
person might enter.
(c) The court, in its discretion, may provide in the order that,
unless extended by subsequent order of the court, the order or
specific provisions of the order terminate at a time specified in the
order.
(d) An order under this section continues in effect until the
earliest of the following times:
(1) The time specified in the order, if any.
(2) The time the order is modified or revoked.
(3) The time the conservatorship of the estate is terminated.
(e) An order under this section may be modified or revoked upon
petition filed by the conservator, conservatee, the spouse or
domestic partner of the conservatee, or any relative or friend of the
conservatee, or any interested person. Notice of the hearing on the
petition shall be given for the period and in the manner provided in
Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 1460) of Part 1.
