    Sec. 1. Whenever any surety on the bond of any trustee of any fund or property appointed by any last will or other instrument in writing or appointed or created in any other manner than by appointment by a court, or any heir, executor or administrator of such surety, desires to be released from further liability upon any such bond, he, she or it may file an action for that purpose, in the circuit court, against such trustee and all other persons interested in such fund or property, including any other surety or sureties upon such bond, setting forth the facts relating to such bond and praying for the release of such surety.
