The court shall have power from time to time to require the guardian to file an additional bond: Provided, however, That if the person appointed as guardian under the provisions of this act is a trust company organized under the laws of the state of Michigan, or a bank with trust powers organized under the laws of the United States or of the state of Michigan, no bond shall be required except that the court in any case may require a bond from any such guardian if, under the circumstances in a particular case, it feels that such a bond is necessary for the protection of the estate of the ward: And provided further, That in any case where a trust company organized under the laws of the state of Michigan, or a bank with trust powers organized under the laws of the United States or of the state of Michigan, shall heretofore have been appointed guardian under the provisions of this act and shall have furnished bond as such guardian, the court shall have power to cancel such bond and to release and discharge the surety or sureties thereon, upon the written petition of such surety or his principal and after the principal named in said bond has filed an account of all his actions and administration from the date of his last account up to the date of the hearing, if the court, after due notice to all persons interested deems it reasonable and proper.
Where a bond is tendered by a guardian with personal sureties, there shall be at least 2 such sureties and they shall file with the court a certificate under oath which shall describe the property owned, both real and personal, and shall state that they are each worth the sum named in the bond as the penalty thereof over and above all their debts and liabilities and exclusive of property exempt from execution. Notwithstanding such tender, the court may require additional security for or may require a corporate surety bond, the premium thereon to be paid from ward's estate.

35.84 Purchase of home for ward.
Sec. 14.
Purchase of home for ward. The court may authorize the purchase of the entire fee simple title to real estate in this state in which the guardian has no interest, but only as a home for the ward, or to protect his interest, or, if he is not a minor, as a home for his dependent family. Such purchase of real estate shall not be made except upon the entry of an order of the court after hearing upon verified petition. Notice of such hearing shall be given the veterans administration in the manner and within the time provided by section 9 of this act.
Before authorizing such investment the court shall require evidence of value and title as is hereinabove provided, and of the advisability of acquiring such real estate. Title shall be taken in the ward's name. This section shall not be construed to limit the right of the guardian on behalf of his ward to bid and to become the purchaser of real estate at a sale thereof pursuant to decree of foreclosure of a lien held by or for the ward, or at a trustee's sale, to protect the ward's right in the property so foreclosed or sold, or at a sale under partition decree, if necessary to protect the ward's interest in such property.

(c) The filing of an acceptance of trust or bond by the successor corporate guardian as may be directed by the court.

Sec. 16.
Commitment of insane veteran. Whenever it appears that any veteran is eligible for treatment in a United States veterans' facility and commitment is necessary for the proper care and treatment of such veteran, the court of the county in which the veteran is found, may, upon receipt of a certificate of eligibility from the veterans administration, and if the veteran be adjudged insane in accordance with law, direct such veteran's commitment to the veterans administration for hospitalization in a United States veterans' facility. Thereafter such veteran upon admission to any such facility shall be subject to the rules and regulations of the veterans administration and the chief officer of such facility shall be vested with the same powers exercised by superintendents of state hospitals for mental diseases within this state with reference to the retention, transfer or parole of the veteran so committed. Notice of such pending commitment proceedings shall be furnished the person to be committed and his right to appear and defend shall not be denied. The commitment of a veteran to a veterans' facility within this state by a court of another state under a similar provision of law, shall have the same force and effect as if such commitment were made by a court of this state.
