No surety is asked for in the grant of letter of administration/probate of a will unless there is some complications in the matter. So it is upto the surety who is willing to stand surety to explain the position of the petitioner and the property. The surety will be held liable for all the things he has agreed to as a surety and is bound by the court order.
