How it works

Built for the appointment order.

A receiver usually can’t take charge of the property until the bond is on file, so it’s the gating step. Here is the whole process:

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What a receiver bond guarantees

When a court appoints a receiver (or a master or referee) to take custody of property — a business, real estate, or a fund in dispute — it usually requires a bond before the receiver can act.

The bond guarantees the parties and the court that the receiver will preserve the assets, account for every dollar, and faithfully perform the duties of the office. If the receiver mishandles the estate, the surety makes the parties whole and then pursues the receiver.

Because the surety stands behind the whole receivership estate, the bond is underwritten on your credit and finances, and a large penal sum can require collateral. The court fixes the amount to the assets the receiver controls, and we tell you what your file needs before you commit.

Maryland RuleReceiverships in Maryland are governed by Title 13 of the Maryland Rules (Receivers). The court that appoints a receiver ordinarily conditions the receiver’s authority to take charge of the property on filing a bond the court approves, sized to the value of the assets in the receivership and conditioned on faithful performance of the receiver’s duties. Specific receivership statutes — for example, Md. Code, Health-General § 19-336 for nursing homes — likewise require the receiver to file a bond before taking charge.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

What is a Maryland receiver bond? +
It is the bond a court requires before a court-appointed receiver can take charge of property. Under Maryland’s receivership rules (Title 13 of the Maryland Rules), the bond guarantees the receiver will preserve the assets, account for them, and faithfully perform the duties of the office.
How much does it cost? +
It is underwritten, not flat-rated. The court sets the penal sum to the value of the assets in the receivership. A surety specialist reviews the appointment order, your finances and credit, and any collateral and returns a premium quote, usually within one business day.
Who sets the bond amount? +
The appointing court does, sized to the value of the property the receiver will control. We size and underwrite the bond to whatever the court’s order requires.
Will I need collateral? +
Sometimes, especially on a large receivership estate. Because the surety guarantees the whole estate, a high penal sum may require collateral and financials. We tell you what your specific file needs before you commit.
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 you can take charge of the property.
