§58-183.


§58-183.
   
   When a petition is presented praying that an executor or administrator
   be required to give further security, or to give bond where, by the
   terms of the will no bond was originally required and it is alleged on
   oath that the executor or administrator is wasting the property of the
   estate, the judge may, by order, suspend his powers until the matter
   can be heard and determined. It shall be the duty of the district
   court to make an examination of all bonds filed by administrators, or
   guardian or executors, at least once each year, and to make diligent
   inquiry as to the solvency of the sureties on such bond, and to
   ascertain if they are still residents within the state, and all other
   matters which might affect the said bonds or the sureties thereon. And
   if such sureties are not found to be fully solvent and safe the court
   shall demand further security, and if it is not given within a
   reasonable time, the administrator, executor or guardian shall be
   removed.
