§560:5-415  Bond.  The court may require
a conservator to furnish a bond conditioned upon faithful discharge of all
duties of the conservatorship according to law, with sureties as it may
specify.  Unless otherwise directed by the court, the cost of the bond shall be
charged to the protected person's estate and the bond shall be in
the amount of the aggregate capital value of the property of the estate in the
conservator's control, plus one year's estimated income, and minus the value of
assets deposited under arrangements requiring an order of the court for their
removal and the value of any real property that the fiduciary, by express
limitation, lacks power to sell or convey without court authorization.  The
court, in place of sureties on a bond, may accept collateral for the
performance of the bond, including a pledge of securities or a mortgage of real
property. [L 2004, c 161, pt of §1]
