If a fiduciary wastes or unfaithfully administers an estate, on the application of a surety on the fiduciary’s bond the probate court granting letters of appointment to the fiduciary may order the fiduciary to render an account and to execute to the surety a bond of indemnity with sureties approved by the court. Upon neglect or refusal to execute the bond within the time ordered, the court may remove the fiduciary, revoke the fiduciary’s letters of appointment, and appoint another fiduciary in the fiduciary’s place.
