(1) the specific powers, limitations, or duties of the guardian with respect to the care of the ward or the management of the ward's property, as appropriate;
(2) the specific areas of protection and assistance to be provided to the ward;
(3) any limitation of the ward's rights;
(4) if the ward's incapacity resulted from a mental condition, whether the ward retains the right to vote and make personal decisions regarding residence; and
