Before making an appointment under the provisions of this Part, the court shall be satisfied that the tutor or curator whose appointment is sought is a fit and proper person to be appointed. Upon the appointment being made, the court may, at its discretion, if the tutor or curator be other than a bank or trust company, require that the tutor or curator execute and file a bond to be approved by the court in an amount not less than the sum then due and estimated to become payable during the ensuing year. The court shall have power from time to time to require the tutor or curator to file an additional bond. No bond shall be required if the tutor or curator be a bank or trust company.
When a bond is tendered by a tutor or curator with a personal surety, such surety shall file with the court a certificate under oath which shall describe the property owned, both real and personal, and that he is worth the sum named in the bond as the penalty thereof over and above all his debts and liabilities and exclusive of property exempt from execution.
