guardian or conservator has been appointed would have made if a guardian or conservator had not been appointed, provided, however, that the court shall not exercise such powers in cases where the person for whom a guardian or conservator has been appointed has prior to the appointment of a guardian or conservator expressly declared or requested that such powers shall not be exercised by the court. In granting such authority the court may impose such conditions or restrictions and give such directions as it may deem advisable.
