(755 ILCS 5/13-2) (from Ch. 110 1/2, par. 13-2)
Sec. 13-2. Bond and oath.) Before entering upon the performance of
his duties, every public administrator and every public guardian shall take
and file in the court an oath or affirmation that
he will support the Constitution of the United States and the
Constitution of the State of Illinois and will faithfully discharge the
duties of his office and shall enter into a bond payable to the people
of the State of Illinois in a sum of not less than $5,000 with security
as provided by this Act and approved by the court of the county in
which he is appointed, conditioned that he will faithfully discharge
the duties of his office. The court may from time to time require
additional security of the public administrator or guardian
and may require him to give the usual bond required of representatives
of estates of decedents, or persons with disabilities
in other cases. In
default of his giving bond within 60 days after receiving his commission
or of his giving additional security within 60 days after being ordered
by the court to do so, his office is deemed vacant and upon certificate
of a judge of the court of that fact the Governor or the Circuit Court
shall fill the
vacancy.
