(a) Accept an offer to exchange all or any interest of the protected person in real or personal property or both real and personal property for real or personal property or both real and personal property of another, and pay or receive any cash or other consideration to equalize the values on such exchange; or
(b) Effect a voluntary partition of real or personal property or both real and personal property in which the protected person owns an undivided interest.
