How it works

Built so you can take possession.

The receivership can’t proceed until the bond the court ordered is filed and approved. Here is the whole process:

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What a receiver bond covers

When a court appoints a receiver — or a master or referee — to take charge of property, a business, or disputed assets, that person holds significant control over value that belongs to others.

A receiver bond guarantees the receiver will faithfully perform the duties of the office and account for the property under their control. If the receiver mismanages or misappropriates the assets, the affected parties can recover against the bond.

Because the exposure is the receivership estate, the appointing court fixes the penalty and approves the security, and these bonds are underwritten rather than flat-rated. Larger receiverships may require financials or collateral. We size and quote once we see the order.

Illinois Statute735 ILCS 5/2-415 governs receivers in Illinois — the appointing court fixes the penalty and approves the security for a receiver, and may permit a party in possession to retain it on bond in lieu of a receiver. The court may, for good cause shown after notice and hearing, appoint without bond.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

What is an Illinois receiver bond? +
A fiduciary bond a court-appointed receiver, master, or referee posts before taking control of property or a business. It guarantees the receiver will faithfully perform their duties and account for the assets, protecting the parties to the receivership.
Who sets the bond amount? +
The appointing court does, under 735 ILCS 5/2-415, sizing the penalty to the property and the receiver’s authority and approving the security. There is no flat rate; we underwrite the premium and any collateral to that penalty.
How much does it cost? +
These bonds are underwritten, not flat-rated. The premium depends on the size of the receivership, the receiver’s background, and any collateral. Send us the order and a specialist returns a quote — usually within one business day.
Can a receiver be appointed without a bond? +
Sometimes. Under 735 ILCS 5/2-415 the court may, for good cause shown after notice and a hearing, appoint a receiver without bond. When the court does require a bond, that order tells us what to underwrite.
Will I need financials or collateral? +
On larger receiverships, possibly. We review the receiver’s profile and the assets, and discuss any financials or collateral up front so the quote reflects the real terms.
