How it works

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 filed. Here is the whole process:

TODAY · 10 MINUTES

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.

WITHIN 1 BUSINESS DAY

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.

ON APPROVAL

Execute & file

Once you bind, we issue the executed bond on the court’s required form with the power of attorney attached, ready to file with the clerk so the receiver can take control of the assets.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What a receiver bond secures

A court appoints a receiver (or master or referee) to take custody of disputed or distressed property — a business, real estate, or assets — and manage it neutrally while a case proceeds.

The receiver bond guarantees the receiver faithfully discharges those duties and obeys the court’s orders: collecting, preserving, accounting for, and distributing the assets 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. The court sets the amount in its discretion — often a multiple of monthly gross rents for rent-producing property — and we’ll flag what applies.

Kentucky AuthorityKRS 425.600 provides for the appointment of a receiver, and CR 66 of the Kentucky Rules of Civil Procedure governs the administration of receiverships. A receiver gives a bond, with surety approved by the court, conditioned on the faithful discharge of the duties of receiver in the action and on obedience to the orders of the court, in an amount the court fixes. The receiver acts for the benefit of all parties interested in the property and must account to the court.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

What is a Kentucky receiver bond? +
It is the bond a court-appointed receiver, master, or referee files to guarantee faithful discharge of the receiver’s duties over the property in receivership and obedience to the court’s orders. Receivers are appointed under KRS 425.600 and governed by CR 66, which require a bond with surety approved by the court in an amount the court fixes.
How much does it cost? +
It is underwritten, not flat-rated. The court sets the penal sum to the value of the assets in receivership, in its discretion. A surety specialist then reviews the receiver’s credit and finances and any collateral and returns a premium quote, usually within one business day.
Who sets the bond amount? +
The appointing court does, sizing it to the assets the receiver will control. For rent-producing property the bond is often set at a multiple of monthly gross rents. We size and underwrite the bond to whatever amount the order of appointment specifies.
When must the bond be filed? +
On appointment. Under CR 66 and KRS 425.600, the receiver gives the bond before taking up the duties of receiver and taking possession of the property. We help structure whatever the order of appointment requires.
How fast can the bond be issued? +
A specialist typically returns a quote within one business day of a complete application. Once you bind and any collateral is in place, the executed bond issues on the court’s form, ready to file so the receiver can take possession.
