The court may order that such bond is not required if the court specifically finds that the general bond, if any, of the guardian is of a sufficient penal amount to provide for the proceeds of the sale in addition to the property secured by said bond or upon a finding by the court that: 1. The anticipated annual income to a ward for one (1) year plus the value of the personal property of the ward, after sale, is less than Forty Thousand Dollars ($40,000.00); and 2. The guardian of the ward is either a parent, spouse, brother, sister, grandparent, child or grandchild of the ward. R.L. 1910, § 6564.
