§ 3109. Bond
(a) Upon the appointment of a guardian, he or she shall execute and file a bond to be
approved by the court in an amount not less than the estimated value of the personal
estate and anticipated income of the ward during the ensuing year. The bond shall
be in the form and be conditioned as required of guardians appointed under the general
guardianship laws of this State. The court may, from time to time, require the guardian
to file an additional bond.
(b) Where a bond is tendered by a guardian with personal sureties, there shall be at least
two such sureties and they shall file with the court a certificate under oath which
shall describe the property owned, both real and personal, and shall state that each
is worth the sum named in the bond as the penalty thereof over and above all his or
her debts and liabilities and the aggregate of other bonds on which he or she is principal
or surety and exclusive of property exempt from execution. The court may require
additional security or may require a corporate surety bond, the premium thereon to
be paid from the ward’s estate.
