856.25 Bond of personal representative.
(1)Generally. A person shall not act as personal representative, nor shall letters be issued to the person until the person has given a bond in accordance with ch. 878 , with one or more sureties, conditioned on the faithful performance of the person’s duties, to the judge of the court, or until the court has ordered that the person be appointed without being required to give bond. If the court does not require a personal representative to give bond prior to the personal representative’s letters being issued, the court may require the personal representative to give bond at any later time. The requirement of a bond and the amount of the bond is solely within the discretion of the court, except that no bond shall be required of any trust company bank, state bank or national banking association which is authorized to exercise trust powers and which has complied with s. 220.09 or 223.02 .
