(1)

the expenditures were made when it was not convenient or possible for the guardian to first secure court approval;

(2)

the proof is clear and convincing that the expenditures were reasonable and proper;

(3)

the court would have granted authority in advance to make the expenditures; and

(4)

the ward received the benefits of the expenditures.
