Ala. Code § 26-9-9
Before making an appointment under the provisions of this chapter the court shall be satisfied that the guardian whose appointment is sought is a fit and proper person to be appointed.
Upon the appointment being made, the guardian shall execute and file a bond to be approved by the court in an amount not less than the sum then due and estimated to become payable during the ensuing year. The bond shall be in the form and be conditioned as required of a guardian appointed under the guardianship laws of this state and it shall be the duty of the court having jurisdiction of the cause, upon the application by any party in interest, to require the filing of an individual bond in accordance with the provisions of this section without regard to the provisions of any preexisting general or local statute or charter provision of any corporation exempting the fiduciary from the posting of an individual guardianship bond. The court shall have power from time to time to require the guardian to file an additional bond.
Where a bond is tendered by a guardian with personal sureties, such sureties shall file with the court a certificate under oath which shall describe the property owned, both real and personal, and that they are each worth the sum named in the bond as the penalty thereof over and above all their debts and liabilities and exclusive of property exempt from execution.
