of the custodial trust property and records to the successor custodial trustee and the execution of
all instruments required for transfer of the custodial trust property.
(f) On petition of the custodial trustee or any person who could petition for an accounting,
the court, after notice to interested persons, may issue instructions to the custodial trustee or
