32-1-1005. Bond. - Montana Statutes

     32-1-1005. Bond. Before accepting an appointment or acting as a trustee, guardian, or conservator, a foreign trust company shall file a bond with a court of competent jurisdiction in an amount as the court directs, with sufficient sureties, conditioned on the faithful discharge of its duties as trustee, guardian, or conservator. In lieu of the bond, the foreign trust company shall certify, in a manner acceptable to the department of administration, that the capital stock of the foreign trust company is fully paid in cash, on deposit with an appropriate bank, and is of a sufficient amount to meet the requirements of 32-1-307 for a trust company organized under the laws of this state. The deposit must be maintained until the foreign trust company ceases to act as trustee, guardian, or conservator under this part. A foreign trust company is not required to file a bond or certify the deposit of its capital with respect to a trust, created other than a trust created by a will, if the trust instrument requests or directs that a bond is not required of the trustee.
