        (1) enters into the agreement voluntarily and without coercion or undue influence; and
        (2) understands the nature and effect of the agreement.
   (c) An adult may not enter into a supported decision-making agreement under this section if the agreement encroaches on the authority of a guardian or conservator of the adult, unless the guardian or conservator approves in writing the adult entering into the supported decision-making agreement.
