Section 30-4-6-9 - Suit on bond
(a) The court may, on breach of the obligation of the bond of the trustee, after notice to the obligors on the bond and to such other persons as the court directs, determine the damages, and by appropriate proceeding enforce the collection thereof from those liable on the bond. Such determination and enforcement may be made by the court upon its own motion or upon application of a successor trustee, or of any other interested person. Damages may be assessed on behalf of all interested persons and may be paid over to the successor or other non-defaulting trustee or any other person the court may direct.
(b) The bond of the trustee shall not be void upon the first recovery, but may be proceeded upon from time to time until the whole penalty is exhausted.
(c) If the court has already determined the liability of the trustee, the sureties shall not be permitted thereafter to deny such liability in any action or hearing to determine their liability; but the surety may intervene in any hearing to determine the liability of the trustee.
