Before the trustee shall have any power or authority to sell, dispose of or convert to the purposes of the trust any of the assigned property he shall qualify as such by taking an oath and giving a bond in a penalty double the amount of the estate, with a solvent surety company as surety, before the clerk of the county court of the county in which such assignment, conveyance or transfer has been recorded. The oath of the trustee shall be that he will faithfully perform the duties of the office of trustee to the best of his skill and judgment, and will account for and pay over all money that comes into his hands as such trustee. The bond of the trustee shall be approved by the clerk, shall be conditioned that the trustee shall faithfully perform the duties of trustee to the best of his skill and judgment and account for and pay over all money that may come into his hands as trustee, and shall be filed in the office of the clerk. At any time after the giving of such bond the clerk may, upon his own motion, or upon the application of any party in interest, and on five days' notice given to the assignor, trustee and surety, increase the amount of the bond or require further security to be given, whenever in his judgment the penalty of the bond or the security afforded by it is not adequate.
