(c) Upon petition by an interested party, the court may direct the trustee to provide a bond to secure the trustee's performance, if the court deems it reasonably necessary to protect the interest of any beneficiary.
(d) Unless the terms of the trust provide otherwise, the court may, in its discretion, direct a trustee appointed by the court under IC 30-4-3-33 to file a bond to secure the performance of the trustee's duties.
(e) In any case in which bond is required, unless otherwise specified, the court shall determine the amount, term and surety of the bond to be provided.
