(2) the ward's age, education, current income, ability to earn additional income, net worth, and liabilities;
(3) the nature of the ward's estate; and
(4) any other resources reasonably available to the ward.
(b) In determining whether a guardian of the estate has exercised the standard of investment required by this section with respect to an investment decision, the court shall, absent fraud or gross negligence, consider the investment of all the estate assets over which the guardian has management or control, rather than considering the prudence of only a single investment made by the guardian.
