§ 79.15 Bonds; sureties.Before  making an appointment under the provisions of this article the   court shall be satisfied that the guardian, whose appointment is sought,   is a fit and proper person to be appointed. Upon the  appointment  being   made  the  guardian  shall execute and file a bond to be approved by the   court in an amount not less than the  sum  then  due  and  estimated  to   become  payable  during  the  ensuing year, if he is to receive only the   benefits from the administration and income from such benefits.  If  the   guardian  is  also  to  receive  other property of the ward, the minimum   amount of  the  said  bond  shall  be  increased,  in  the  case  of  an   incompetent  ward,  by  the  amount  of the bond required of a committee   appointed under article seventy-eight of this chapter, and in  the  case   of  an  infant  ward,  by  the amount of the bond required of a guardian   appointed under  the  surrogate's  court  procedure  act;  or  else  the   guardian  shall  execute  and  file  an  additional  bond  in the amount   required by the applicable statute.

§ 79.43 Notice of pendency of proceeding; effect.In  all  proceedings taken under this article, if real property or any   interest therein is intended to be affected, the petitioner  shall  file   in  the  clerk's  office of each county where the property is situated a   notice of the pendency of such proceeding  which  shall  set  forth  the   general  nature  and object of the proceeding and a brief description of   the real property in that county to be affected  thereby,  which  notice   must be filed with the petition or at any time thereafter and before any   final  adjudication in the proceeding.
