§ 2104. Motion, when bond is insufficient
If a surviving spouse, heir, creditor, devisee, or legatee of a decedent or their
legal representatives, or a person interested in a trust estate, considers the bond
given to the Probate Division of the Superior Court by a fiduciary insufficient, they
may file a motion for an additional bond. The court shall schedule a hearing and notice
shall be given as provided by the Rules of Probate Procedure. If it appears to the
court that the bond is not sufficient, it shall order the fiduciary to give a new
and sufficient bond within the time limited. If the new bond is not filed within that
new time, the court shall remove the fiduciary and fill the vacancy. (Amended 1985, No. 144 (Adj. Sess.), § 92; 2009, No. 154 (Adj. Sess.), § 238a, eff. Feb. 1, 2011; 2017, No. 195 (Adj. Sess.), § 13.)
