Ala. Code § 43-2-87: Additional Bond of Sheriff.

When the administration of any estate is committed to the sheriff, the judge of probate, at such time or at any time thereafter, while the administration is in the hands of such officer, may require of him or her an additional bond if, in his or her opinion, the official bond of such officer is not sufficient security for the protection of the estate; and if he or she fails to give such additional bond for 10 days after notice that the same is required, he or she vacates his or her office, and the judge of probate must certify the vacancy to the appointing power.
