As a prerequisite to its appointment as a fiduciary by any court or officer of this State, a qualified bank shall present to the court or officer an affidavit made by its president or a vice-president and its trust officer or an assistant trust officer that the bank is a qualified bank authorized to exercise the powers specified in section 28, and that its authority so to act has not been revoked and that there is no action pending in any court or before any officer to revoke it.
B. In those cases in which a qualified bank shall be required to give security and a fund maintained pursuant to section 31 shall be offered by the bank as such security, the affidavit presented pursuant to subsection A of this section shall also set forth
(1) The value of the investments included in the fund created and deposited pursuant to section 31 as of a date not more than 30 days prior to the date of such affidavit;
(2) The maximum amount which the said fund so deposited will secure, as provided in subsection A of section 31; and
(3) That the aggregate value on the books of the qualified bank of all the assets administered by the bank in fiduciary capacities under appointment by a court or officer of this State with respect to which its fiduciary obligations are secured by said fund, including the value of the assets to be administered following the pending appointment, will not exceed the amount specified in the next preceding paragraph.
There shall be annexed to such affidavit a statement of the assets and liabilities of the bank, which shall be a copy of the last such statement published pursuant to law. In lieu of items (1), (2) and (3), such affidavit may state that the value of the investments included in the fund created and deposited pursuant to section 31 is $500,000.00 or more.
