(a)(1) Upon compliance with the provisions of the Arkansas Insurance Code, a surety insurer may become surety upon any bond or other contract of any person and may become surety upon any bond required to be given by any person in the course of judicial proceedings or upon the bonds of administrators, executors, guardians, receivers, assignees, trustees, or other fiduciaries required to give the bond.
(2) The obligation of the insurer as surety upon those bonds or contracts may be accepted by the court, officer, board, or person required to approve the bond or contract as the sole surety upon the bond or contract even though previous laws or customs may have required two (2) sureties upon the bonds or contracts or may have required one (1) or more of the sureties to be residents of any particular territory.
(b) Where these bonds are given by administrators, executors, guardians, receivers, assignees, trustees, or other officers of the court, the court appointing the officers may allow the expense incurred by the officers in securing this bond in the insurer as part of the expenses of the trust to be paid out of the fund.
