Built for the appointment.
A bond that’s demanded or ordered has to be filed before the fiduciary has full authority to act, so it’s usually the gating step. Here is the whole process:
Send us the file
Apply online with the order or petition setting the bond, the estate’s value, and the fiduciary’s details. The estate size and any restricted assets drive the penal sum.
A surety specialist underwrites it
A specialist reviews the file, a personal credit check, and any financials, then returns a quote. The amount is set by the court — underwriting decides approval and any collateral on a large estate.
Execute & file
Once you bind, we issue the executed bond on the court’s required form, payable as the statute requires, ready to file so you can act with full authority.
What it is and who needs it.
What a fiduciary bond protects
When the court appoints you to handle someone else’s money — as a personal representative of an estate, or a guardian or conservator for a protected person — it may require a bond before you can fully act.
The fiduciary bond guarantees that you perform all your duties according to law: that you inventory the assets, account honestly, and don’t misuse the estate. If you breach those duties, the bond makes the estate or protected person whole — and the surety looks to you to repay it.
Because the surety stands behind the estate, the bond is underwritten on your personal credit and finances, and a large estate can require collateral or restricted-asset arrangements. We tell you what your file needs before you commit.
