Sec. 8. (a) The court, at the time of appointment or later, on its own motion or on petition of the protected person or other person approved by the court, may: (1) confer upon the guardian any additional responsibilities and powers; (2) increase or decrease the bond of the guardian to satisfy the requirements of IC 29-3-7-1 ; or (3) limit the responsibilities and powers of the guardian otherwise conferred by this article and create a limited guardianship. (b) However, all limitations must be endorsed on the guardian's letters. Following the same procedure, a limitation may be removed or modified and appropriate revised letters issued. (c) If a protected person files a petition to limit or modify a guardianship under this section and the protected person is unable to obtain medical records from a health care provider, the: (1) protected person; (2) attorney of record for the protected person; (3) court appointed guardian ad litem for the protected person; or (4) volunteer advocates for seniors or incapacitated adults program appointed under IC 29-3-8.5 ; may file a petition under IC 29-3-4-1.5 to request a confidential health disclosure order and shall provide notice of the petition to any court appointed guardian ad litem of the protected person under IC 29-3-4-1.5 (f)(3). A petition filed under this subsection that contains an allegation that the protected person has made a direct request for and has been denied access to the medical records has satisfied the requirement of IC 29-3-4-1.5 (b)(4)(E).
