How it works

Built for the order of appointment.

The order appointing a receiver provides for 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 penalty.

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 penalty 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 and be approved 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: collects, preserves, accounts for, and distributes 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 fixes the penalty in its discretion — often tied to the value of the assets or the gross rents of rent-producing property — and we’ll flag what applies.

Michigan RuleMCR 2.622 governs the appointment, powers, duties, and bonding of receivers in Michigan circuit courts. In all cases in which a receiver is appointed, the court shall provide for a bond and shall define the receiver’s powers and duties where they are not otherwise spelled out by law. The receiver’s bond is conditioned on faithful discharge of the duties of the receiver in the named action and on obedience to the orders of the court. The Michigan Receivership Act, 2018 PA 16, MCL 554.1011 et seq., supplies the broader statutory framework for receiverships over commercial and real property.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

What is a Michigan receiver bond? +
It is the bond a court-appointed receiver, master, or referee files to guarantee faithful discharge of the receiver’s duties and obedience to the court’s orders over the property in receivership. Under MCR 2.622, in every case in which a receiver is appointed the court provides for a bond.
How much does it cost? +
It is underwritten, not flat-rated. The court fixes the penalty 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 penalty is often tied to gross rents. We size and underwrite the bond to whatever amount the order of appointment specifies.
When must the bond be filed? +
The order appointing the receiver provides for the bond, and the receiver generally cannot fully act until it is filed and approved. We help get it executed and approved so the receiver can take possession without delay.
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.
