How it works

Built for the appointment order.

A receiver generally cannot act until the bond is posted and approved. Here is the whole process:

TODAY · 10 MINUTES

Tell us the receivership

Send the appointing order (or its terms), the court, and the value of the property under receivership. That value drives the court-set amount and the quote.

ABOUT 1 BUSINESS DAY

A specialist underwrites & quotes

A surety specialist reviews the matter and returns a quote with any collateral or financial requirement. Because the receiver holds and manages estate property, larger receiverships may be collateralized — we flag that up front.

ON APPROVAL

Execute & file

We issue the bond on the form the court accepts, with the surety’s power of attorney attached, so it can be approved and you can begin acting as receiver.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What a receiver bond secures

A receiver is a neutral, court-appointed custodian who takes control of property or a business that is the subject of litigation — preserving it, operating it, or winding it down under the court’s direction.

Because the receiver holds other people’s assets, the court requires a bond securing the faithful discharge of the receiver’s duties and obedience to the court’s orders. If the receiver mishandles the estate, the bond answers for the loss.

The amount is set by the court in proportion to the value of the property under receivership. The same logic covers masters and referees appointed to hold or distribute funds under the court’s supervision.

Arkansas AuthorityArk. Code Ann. § 16-117-201 et seq. (receivership) and Ark. R. Civ. P. 66 govern the appointment and administration of receivers. The court requires and approves a bond securing the receiver’s faithful performance and obedience to its orders, in an amount the court fixes by reference to the receivership estate.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

What is an Arkansas receiver bond? +
It is the bond a court-appointed receiver posts before acting, securing the faithful discharge of the receiver’s duties and obedience to the court’s orders. Arkansas receiverships are governed by Ark. Code Ann. § 16-117-201 et seq. and Ark. R. Civ. P. 66; the court fixes and approves the bond amount.
Who sets the amount? +
The court. The penal sum is fixed in proportion to the value of the property under receivership, since the bond stands behind the receiver’s handling of that estate.
How much does it cost? +
There is no flat rate. The bond is underwritten individually: premium depends on the court-set penal sum, the underwriting, and the receivership estate. Tell us the property value and a specialist returns a quote, usually within one business day.
Does this cover masters and referees too? +
Yes. The same faithful-performance framework covers special masters and referees appointed to hold, manage, or distribute funds under the court’s supervision. Send us the appointing order and we’ll size the bond to it.
Will collateral be required? +
It can be, particularly for larger receiverships where the receiver controls substantial assets. We tell you whether collateral or financials apply when we quote.
