Article 3: PROBATE OF WILLS AND ADMINISTRATION
Part 9: SPECIAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO DISTRIBUTION
§3-914

§3-913. Distributions to trustee

1.  Personal representative authority to require bond.  If the trust instrument does not excuse the trustee from giving bond, the personal representative may petition the appropriate court to require that the trustee post bond if the personal representative apprehends that distribution might jeopardize the interests of persons who are not able to protect themselves, and the personal representative may withhold distribution until the court has acted.  
[PL 2017, c. 402, Pt. A, §2 (NEW); PL 2019, c. 417, Pt. B, §14 (AFF).]
2.  Personal representative not negligent for failing to require bond.  An inference of negligence on the part of the personal representative may not be drawn from the personal representative's failure to exercise the authority conferred by subsection 1.  
[PL 2017, c. 402, Pt. A, §2 (NEW); PL 2019, c. 417, Pt. B, §14 (AFF).]
