CA Codes (ccp:571)

571.  If a referee or commissioner is appointed by a court and the
duties of the referee or commissioner will, or are reasonably
anticipated to, involve the custody of personal property or the
receipt or disbursement of moneys, the order of appointment shall
provide that before entering upon the duties, the referee or
commissioner shall execute an undertaking to the State of California,
to the effect that the referee or commissioner will faithfully
discharge the duties of referee or commissioner, as the case may be,
and obey the orders of the court therein.  The order of appointment
shall specify the amount of the undertaking, but a failure to so
specify shall not invalidate the order.
