(2) whether the property is to be sold at public auction or private sale and, if at public auction, the time and place of the sale;
(3) the necessity or advisability of, and the purpose of, the sale;
(4) except in a case in which a guardian of the estate was not required to give a general bond, that the court, after examining the general bond given by the guardian, finds that:
(A) the bond is sufficient as required by law; or
(B) the bond is insufficient;
(5) if the court finds that the general bond is insufficient under Subdivision (4)(B), the amount of the necessary or increased bond, as applicable;
(6) that the sale is to be made and the report returned in accordance with law; and
