WEST VIRGINIA CODE
WVC 44 - 5 - 5
§44-5-5. When additional or new bond may be required of a
fiduciary, or his authority be revoked.
The county commission under whose order, or under the order
of whose clerk, any such fiduciary derives his authority, when it
appears proper on any report of the clerk or a fiduciary
commissioner or a commissioner in chancery, or on evidence
adduced before it by any party interested, may, at any time,
whether such fiduciary shall or shall not have before given any
bond, or whether he shall have given one with or without
sureties, order him to give before the commission an additional
bond within a prescribed reasonable time, in such penalty, and
with or without sureties, as may appear proper; or when any
surety on the bond of a fiduciary, or the personal representative
of any surety, shall apply therefor, the commission shall order
the fiduciary to give before it a new bond within a prescribed
reasonable time, in such penalty, and with such sureties, as may
appear proper, it may, in either case, if the order be not
complied with, or whenever from any cause it appears proper,
revoke and annul the powers of such fiduciary. No such order
shall be made unless reasonable notice is given to the fiduciary
by the clerk or the fiduciary commissioner who made the report,
or by the surety or the personal representative of the surety
making the application aforesaid, or by the service of a rule or
otherwise. No such order of revocation shall invalidate any
previous acts of the fiduciary.
