§560:7-304 - Duty to provide bond.
§560:7-304 Duty to provide bond. A
trustee need not provide bond to secure performance of the trustee's duties
unless required by the terms of the trust, reasonably requested by a
beneficiary or found by the court to be necessary to protect the interests of
the beneficiaries who are not able to protect themselves and whose interests
otherwise are not adequately represented. On petition of the trustee or other
interested person the court may excuse a requirement of bond, reduce the amount
of the bond, release the surety, or permit the substitution of another bond
with the same or different sureties. If bond is required, it shall be filed in
the court of registration or other appropriate court in amounts and with
sureties and liabilities as provided in sections 560:3-604 and 560:3-606
relating to bonds of personal representatives. [L 1976, c 200, pt of §1; gen ch
