(755 ILCS 5/24-17) (from Ch. 110 1/2, par. 24-17)
Sec. 24-17.
Devastavit.) The failure or refusal of a representative
to pay any money or deliver any property to the person entitled thereto
in pursuance of the lawful order of the court within 30 days after
demand therefor amounts to a devastavit and an action upon the representative's bond
may be forthwith instituted and maintained. The failure or refusal to pay or
deliver is sufficient breach of the condition of the bond to authorize a
recovery thereon against the representative and his surety, or either.
