A trustee shall give bond to secure performance of the trustee's duties only if the court finds that a bond is needed to protect the interests of the beneficiaries or is required by the terms of the trust and the court has not dispensed with the requirement.
The court may specify the amount of a bond, its liabilities, and whether sureties are necessary. The court may modify or terminate a bond at any time.
A state or national bank, savings institution, or trust company authorized to exercise fiduciary powers and regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Office of Thrift Supervision, the Mississippi Department of Banking and Consumer Finance, or equivalent state banking supervisors need not give bond, even if required by the terms of the trust.
