Administration bond

22.-(1) The person to whom administration is granted shall give a bond, with two or more responsible sureties, to the probate registrar for the time being conditioned for duly collecting, getting in, and administering the personal property of the deceased, such sureties to be to the satisfaction of the probate registrar.

(2) The probate registrar may, if he thinks fit, take one surety only.

(3) The bond shall be in a penalty of double the amount under which the estate of the deceased is sworn, unless the probate registrar in any case thinks it expedient to reduce the amount.

(4) The probate registrar may also in any case direct that more bonds than one shall be given, so as to limit the liability of any surety to such amount as the probate registrar thinks reasonable.

(5) The bond and the justification for sureties, with such variations as may be necessary, shall be in Forms 7, 8 or 9 of Appendix A.
