Oklahoma § 58-183 - Suspension of powers and removal for failure to give bond

§ 58-183. Suspension of powers and removal for failure to give bond

or further security - Periodical examination of bonds.

When a petition is presented praying that an executor or

administrator be required to give further security, or to give bond

where, by the terms of the will no bond was originally required and

it is alleged on oath that the executor or administrator is wasting

the property of the estate, the judge may, by order, suspend his

powers until the matter can be heard and determined. It shall be

the duty of the district court to make an examination of all bonds

filed by administrators, or guardian or executors, at least once

each year, and to make diligent inquiry as to the solvency of the

sureties on such bond, and to ascertain if they are still residents

within the state, and all other matters which might affect the said

bonds or the sureties thereon. And if such sureties are not found

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 58. Probate Procedure

to be fully solvent and safe the court shall demand further

security, and if it is not given within a reasonable time, the

administrator, executor or guardian shall be removed.
