How it works

Built to qualify the receiver.

The receiver can't take control of the assets until the bond is posted. Here's the entire process:

TODAY · 5 MINUTES

Tell us about the matter

The application captures the basics — the court, the docket or succession number, the penal sum the court (or the estate) has set, and who the principal is. Send the order, judgment, or inventory if you have it; if not, we ask for it once.

WITHIN 1 BUSINESS DAY

A specialist underwrites it

Court and fiduciary bonds are individually underwritten. A surety specialist reviews the penal sum, the fiduciary, and the file, runs a soft credit check, and returns a quote — usually within one business day. Larger penal sums may call for financials or collateral.

ONCE TERMS ARE SET

Execute & file

Approve the quote, post any collateral required, and we issue the executed bond on the court's required form with the power of attorney attached. File it with the clerk so the order, appeal, or appointment can take effect.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What a receiver bond guarantees

When a Louisiana court appoints a receiver — or a master or referee — to take custody of property, a business, or a corporation in dispute, that fiduciary controls assets that belong to others.

The bond guarantees the receiver’s faithful performance and honest accounting: preserving the property, collecting and disbursing funds correctly, and turning over the estate as the court directs. If the receiver mishandles the assets, the surety answers for the loss.

Under Louisiana's receivership law the court may require the receiver to post bond, with or without sureties, in an amount the court directs — generally scaled to the value of the property in the receiver's hands. Send us the order and the size of the estate and we'll size the bond accordingly.

Louisiana AuthorityUnder Louisiana’s receivership provisions in Title 12 of the Revised Statutes, a court appointing a receiver may require the receiver to post bond, with or without sureties, in an amount the court directs, conditioned on the faithful performance of the receiver’s duties.

The application takes about five minutes.

Tell us the court, the docket number, the amount the court directed, and who the receiver is. A specialist underwrites it and returns a quote — usually within one business day. Free until your bond is issued.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

What is a Louisiana receiver bond? +
A fiduciary bond guaranteeing that a court-appointed receiver — or master or referee — will faithfully perform their duties and account for the property under their control. It protects the parties whose assets are in receivership.
How much does it cost? +
There's no flat rate. Premium is a percentage of the penal sum the court directs, which is typically scaled to the value of the property in receivership, and depends on the receiver's profile. We size and quote the exact figure before you commit.
Who sets the bond amount? +
The court does. Under Louisiana’s receivership law the court may require the receiver to post bond in an amount it directs, generally keyed to the value of the property or business under the receiver’s control.
Will the receiver need to provide financials? +
On larger estates, often yes. Because the bond can run to the full value of the property in receivership, an underwriter may ask for financial detail. We tell you what is required up front.
How fast can I get it? +
A specialist typically returns a quote within one business day of a complete application. Once terms are approved, we issue the executed bond so the receiver can take control of the assets.
