Built for the order of appointment.
The order appointing a receiver usually sets the bond, and the receiver can’t fully act until it’s posted. Here is the whole process:
Send us the file
Apply online with the order of appointment, the assets in receivership and their value, and the receiver’s details. The value of the estate drives the penal sum.
A surety specialist underwrites it
A specialist reviews the order, the receiver’s credit and finances, and any collateral, then returns a quote. The amount is fixed by the court — underwriting decides approval and collateral.
Execute & file
Once you bind, we issue the executed bond on the court’s required form with the power of attorney attached, ready to post so the receiver can take control of the assets.
What it is and who needs it.
What a receiver bond secures
The Court of Chancery appoints a receiver (or custodian, master, or referee) to take custody of disputed or distressed property — a Delaware corporation, real estate, or assets — and manage it neutrally while a case proceeds.
The receiver bond guarantees the receiver handles those assets faithfully: collects, preserves, accounts, and distributes them as the court directs. If the receiver mismanages or misappropriates, the bond makes the estate whole, and the surety looks to the receiver to repay it.
Because the surety stands behind the whole estate, the bond is underwritten on the receiver’s credit and finances, and a large receivership can require collateral. Court of Chancery Rules 148–168 govern receiverships, and the court can relieve a receiver from some of those duties — we’ll flag what applies.
