## Text

(a) REQUIREMENT AND AMOUNT. Except as provided in Rule 502(b), a guardian of
the property and estate of a minor child must execute a bond with surety approved by the
court, conditioned for the faithful performance of the guardian’s duties, before taking
control of any assets of the minor child. The penalty of the bond must be the amount
equal to the amount of the personal property, the annual income from the personal
property, and the yearly rents to be derived from the real estate. If it becomes necessary
to sell real estate, the guardian must execute an additional bond in the amount required
by the court before accepting the proceeds from the sale of real estate.
(b) EXCEPTIONS. No bond is required from a regulated financial institution, as defined
in D.C. Code § 26-551.02(18) (2012 Repl.), or a national bank as provided in 12 U.S.C.
§ 92a(f).
