Three steps to bonded.
Your appointment is waiting on this bond. Here's the entire process — no broker phone tag:
Apply once, online
Business details, owner information, effective date. That is the application — the only extra step is a one-time consent to a quick soft credit check.
Approved
Most are approved as soon as you apply. The check is always a soft pull — never a hard inquiry, no impact on your score. If it needs a second look, one to two business days at most.
E-sign & file with the clerk
Pay online and receive the executed bond ready to file with the clerk of the circuit court in the county of your primary place of business. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the clerk insists.

What the bond actually guarantees
Florida regulates professional guardians under Chapter 744, Part II. A professional guardian must post a blanket fiduciary bond with the clerk of the circuit court in the county of the guardian’s primary place of business, maintained in an amount not less than $50,000 and covering all wards for whom the guardian is appointed at any given time.
The bond runs to the Governor of Florida and is conditioned on the faithful performance of all duties by the guardian. The acts or omissions of each employee who has direct contact with a ward or access to a ward’s assets are covered, and the surety’s liability is limited to the face amount regardless of how many wards the guardian serves.
This blanket bond is separate from any individual guardianship bond a court sets for a specific ward’s assets under §744.351. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
