Such additional bond shall be payable to the court for the benefit of all concerned, shall be attested by the judge or clerk of the court, and shall be conditioned upon the faithful discharge of the county conservator’s duty as such, as required by law. Actions on the bond may be brought by any person aggrieved by the misconduct of the county conservator, as provided by law for actions on the bonds of other conservators.
