2-3-109. Ordering sureties to appear for property value examination; notice to personal representatives; requiring additional security.

Before any bond is approved and after its approval, the officer whose duty it is to approve the same, of his own motion or upon the motion of any person interested in the estate, supported by affidavit that the sureties or one (1) or more of them are not worth as much as they have justified to, may order the sureties to appear before him at a designated time and place to be examined touching their property and its value. The officer shall, at the same time, cause a notice to be issued to the personal representative requiring his appearance at the examination. If, upon examination of the sureties and the witnesses who appear, the officer is satisfied that the bond is insufficient, he shall require additional security.
