GA remainderman bonds.
Flat 3%. Soft pull.

When a Georgia life tenant needs to sell, encumber, or use the corpus of property in a way that could harm the people entitled to it afterward, a court may require a bond to protect the remainder interest. We issue it at a flat 3% — one soft credit pull, never affecting your score, and the rate stays 3% either way.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the remainderman bond actually protects

Under Georgia life-estate law (O.C.G.A. Title 44, Chapter 6), a life tenant holds the present right to use property for life, and the remaindermen own the interest that takes effect when the life estate ends. The life tenant owes the remaindermen a duty of ordinary care to preserve the property and commit no act causing permanent injury to their interest.

When a life tenant wants to sell, encumber, or consume the corpus — or otherwise act in a way that could diminish what the remaindermen receive — a court may condition that action on a surety bond protecting the remainder interest. The bond stands behind the value owed to the remaindermen if the life tenant's actions cause them loss.

Because the amount and the exact condition come from the court's order, there is no single statutory figure — enter the amount the court set. This is a court (fiduciary) bond, not a credit product; we issue it at a flat 3% with one soft credit pull that informs approval, never price.

Georgia life-estate law — O.C.G.A. Title 44, Chapter 6Georgia's life-estate provisions (O.C.G.A. Title 44, Chapter 6, including §§ 44-6-83 and 44-6-87) define the duties a life tenant owes the remaindermen and the limits on disposing of the estate. When a court permits a life tenant to sell, encumber, or use the corpus, it may require a bond protecting the remainder interest; the amount and conditions are set by the court's order. Confirm the figure and terms in your order — we'll issue the bond.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

How much is the Georgia remainderman bond? +
The premium is a flat 3% of the bond amount, with a $275 minimum. The amount is set by the court that orders the bond, usually reflecting the value of the remainder interest being protected. Enter the court-ordered figure and the quote updates.
When is a remainderman bond required? +
When a Georgia court permits a life tenant (or fiduciary) to sell, encumber, or consume property subject to a remainder, it may require a bond protecting the remaindermen’s interest. The order sets the amount and conditions — there is no single statutory figure.
What does the bond protect against? +
It protects the remaindermen against loss if the life tenant’s actions diminish the value they are entitled to receive. If the surety pays a claim, the principal (and any indemnitors) repay the surety — it is not insurance for the life tenant.
Is there a credit check? +
One soft credit pull, which never affects your score. It informs approval, not price — the rate is a flat 3% either way. Credit can affect whether we approve the bond, never what it costs.
What amount should I choose if I'm not sure? +
Use the figure in the court’s order. If the amount has not been set yet, send us the order or petition and we will confirm before issuing.
