HB 1886 Appointment of guardians.

Introduced by: Whittington W. Clement | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY:

Guardian for estate of a minor. Clarifies the section requiring that a person seeking appointment as a guardian for the estate of a minor take an oath to faithfully perform his duties and also give bond in an amount at least equal to the full value of the minor's personal estate coming under his control. Any judge or clerk failing to require this bond is liable to the ward for any damages he consequently sustains, as under current law. Each guardian is required to provide surety upon his bond unless it is waived, and the order appointing a guardian must state whether or not surety is required. When the same guardian qualifies upon the estate of two or more wards who are members of the same family, only one qualification and one guardianship bond is required.
