Illinois Code § 2-2

§ 2-2.

(a) Whenever application shall be made to any court in this State for the appointment of any receiver, assignee, guardian, executor, administrator or other trustee or fiduciary appointed by the court, it shall be lawful for such court to appoint any corporate fiduciary as such trustee, fiduciary, receiver, assignee, guardian, executor or administrator. Provided, any such appointment as guardian shall apply to the estate only, and not to the person. (b) Any court having appointed and having jurisdiction of any receiver, executor, administrator, guardian, assignee or other trustee or fiduciary appointed by the court, upon the application of such officer, trustee or fiduciary, or upon the application of any person having an interest in the estate administered by such officer, trustee or fiduciary, after such notice to the other parties in interest as the court may direct, and after a hearing upon such application, may order such officer, trustee or fiduciary to deposit any moneys then in his, her or its custody, or which may come into his, her or its custody thereafter, and until the further order of the court, with any corporate fiduciary, and upon deposit of such money, and its receipt and acceptance by the corporate fiduciary, the officer, trustee or fiduciary shall be discharged from further care or responsibility therefor. Such deposits shall be paid out only upon the orders of said court. (c) Whenever, in the judgment of any court having jurisdiction of any estate in process of administration by any assignee, receiver, executor, administrator, guardian, or other trustee or fiduciary, the bond required by law of such officer shall seem burdensome or excessive, upon application of such officer, trustee or fiduciary, and after such notice to the parties in interest as the court shall direct, and after a hearing on such application, the court may order the officer, trustee or fiduciary to deposit with any corporate fiduciary for safe keeping, such portion or all of the personal assets of the estate as it shall deem proper, and thereupon, the court shall, by an order entered of record, reduce the bond to be given, or theretofore given by such officer, trustee or fiduciary, so as to cover only the estate remaining in the custody of the officer, trustee or fiduciary, and the property as deposited shall thereupon be held by the corporate fiduciary under the orders and directions of the court.
