Rule 68 Foreign Fiduciaries and Sureties

(a) Foreign executors, administrators or trustees. Before the court may appoint a foreign person or corporation as an executor, administrator or trustee, the following must be filed:

(1) The designation of a resident agent for service of process; and

(2) In the case of a foreign banking corporation or trust company, a certificate of its authority to act in this state from the Secretary of State.

(b) Foreign guardian. Before the court may appoint a nonresident guardian as provided by 14 V.S.A. § 2603, the proposed guardian must file the designation of a resident agent for service of process.

(c) Foreign surety. Before the court may accept the bond with a foreign insurance company as surety, the proposed surety must file a certificate of the Commissioner of Financial Regulation that the company is authorized to do business in Vermont. The court may accept the bond without a certificate if the surety has filed a certificate in connection with another bond within the same year.
