Built for the trust administration.
In Connecticut a trustee bond is required when the court finds it is needed to protect the beneficiaries or the trust instrument calls for one — and the court fixes the amount. Here is the whole process:
Send us the file
Apply online and tell us the trust, its value, and the bond amount the court has set (or that the trust requires). That is what we size the trustee bond to under §45a-499ss.
A surety specialist underwrites it
A specialist reviews the trust, your credit, and any collateral, then returns a quote. A large penal sum may be collateralized — cash, a letter of credit, or pledged assets.
Execute & file
Once you bind, we issue the executed bond on the court’s form with the power of attorney attached, ready to file so you can administer the trust.
What it is and who needs it.
What a trustee bond protects
A trustee holds and manages trust property for the beneficiaries under a fiduciary duty. When the trust instrument or the court calls for security, the bond is how the beneficiaries are protected if that duty is breached.
A trustee bond secures the faithful performance of the trustee’s duties and the proper accounting for the trust assets. If the trustee mishandles the trust, the bond answers for the loss — which is why the court sizes it to the trust rather than a flat figure, and why the surety underwrites the trustee first.
Underwriting looks at your credit and the value of the trust. A large penal sum may be collateralized — with cash, a letter of credit, or pledged assets — and supported by financials. We tell you what a given trust needs before you commit.
