If it appears to the court of this State which has  appointed a representative of the estate of a nonresident ward that  the removal of the ward's estate will not conflict with the interest of  the ward, the terms of  limitations attending the right by which the ward owns the estate or the  rights of creditors, the  court may order the resident representative to pay and deliver to the nonresident  representative the whole  or any part of the ward's estate.  The order may be entered only upon petition  of the nonresident representative and the production of a copy of his letters  authenticated  within 60 days before the date of presentation.

If it appears to the  court in which a ward's estate is being administered that the interests of the ward are  best served by the transfer of the administration of the ward's  estate to another county in this State by reason of the residence of the ward  or of the representative or of the location of the major portion of the ward's  property in that county, the court may enter an order in the estate transferring  the administration  of the estate to the court of that county.

(a)  If it appears that there are sufficient assets to pay  all claims against the estate of a decedent, the court may order the  representative to pay the distributive share to a distributee before  the expiration of the period when claims are barred under Section 18-12  if the distributee  gives bond payable to and for the indemnity of the representative in double  the value of the distributive share to be paid, with surety to be approved by the court,  conditioned to refund the due proportion of any claim entitled to be paid from the  estate distributed together with the expenses of recovery,  including reasonable attorneys' fees and additional expenses of administration.(b) If at any time after payment of a distributive share  it becomes necessary for all or any part of the distributive share  to be refunded for the payment of any claim entitled to be paid from the estate  distributed, upon petition of any interested person the court shall order  the distributee to refund that portion of his distributive  share which is necessary to pay the claim.  If there is more  than one distributee, the court shall apportion among the distributees  the amount to be refunded according to the amount received by each of them,  but specific and general legacies need not be refunded unless the  residue is insufficient to satisfy the claims entitled to be  paid from the estate distributed.  If a distributee refuses to  refund within 60 days after being ordered by the court to do so and upon  demand, the refusal is deemed a breach of the bond and a civil action  may be maintained by the representative against the distributee and the surety or either  of them for the amount due together with the expenses of recovery, including  reasonable attorneys' fees. The order of the court is evidence of the amount due.    (Source: P.A. 84-395.)

The  bond may provide that it is binding on the surety for a period of not to exceed  10 years from the date thereof, but the release of the surety at the expiration  of the 10 years does not release the distributee from liability to  refund the distributive share received by him.(b) In any case where funds have been deposited pursuant to the order of any court  in the office of the county treasury or any other depositary for the benefit  of any person  and have there remained for a period of 20 years or more without lawful claim being made  therefor, the funds are thereafter distributable to the heirs or legatees of  such person under the presumption of death testate or intestate, as  found by any court of competent jurisdiction, upon the entry  into bond by each distributee, without surety, conditioned to refund  on demand, to the presumed decedent, if alive, or to any other person lawfully  entitled thereto, all money and other property or assets received by the distributee  as heir or legatee; and in all cases of distribution there shall not thereafter  be any recourse  to, or liability on the part of the treasurer, depositary or any representative  or officer of court.
