Local Rule 1.1G.             Sureties

 

(1)       Individual Sureties. Individuals proposed as sureties on bonds

of fiduciaries shall take an affidavit on the printed form supplied by

the Clerk, setting forth the facts required thereby. Such affidavit shall

be filed together with the bond when that is filed for approval, and

shall be renewed annually thereafter as long as the bond shall remain

in effect. A member of the Bar or any employee of this Court shall not

act as surety in any proceeding in this Court, except by special leave

of Court.

(2)       Corporate Sureties. Every surety company duly authorized to do

business in Pennsylvania may become surety on any bond or obligation

required to be filed in this Court; provided that a currently effective

certificate issued to it by the Insurance Department of the

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, evidencing such right, shall be on file

with the Clerk, and that no bond shall be executed by any surety

company after May 1 of any year until such a certificate issued after

March 31 of the same year shall have been filed with the Clerk.
