Sec. 206. ORDER REQUIRING NEW BOND
-
(a) The order entered under Section 205(1) of this code must state the reasons for requiring a new bond, the amount of the new bond, and the time within which the new bond must be given, which may not be earlier than the 10th day after the date of the order. If the personal representative opposes the order, the personal representative may demand a hearing on the order. The hearing must be held before the expiration of the time within which the new bond must be given.
(b) Upon the return of a citation ordering a personal representative to show cause why he should not give a new bond, the judge shall, on the day named therein for the hearing of the matter, proceed to inquire into the sufficiency of the reasons for requiring a new bond; and, if satisfied that a new bond should be required, he shall enter an order to that effect, stating in such order the amount of such new bond, and the time within which it shall be given, which shall not be later than twenty days from the date of such order.
