Appointed by a Louisiana court as a receiver, master, or referee to take custody of property or a business?
The court can require a bond for your faithful performance as receiver.
The amount is the one the court directs — underwritten, not flat-rated.

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