Michigan receiver bonds for property & business management.
We size, underwrite & quote it.

When a Michigan circuit court hands you a building, a portfolio, or a whole operating business, it puts you in charge of someone else’s value. This bond guarantees you’ll manage, account for, and hand back what the court placed in your hands. The court fixes the penalty to the property or business you’ll be running — and we underwrite it. A surety specialist reviews your file and returns a quote, usually within one business day.

How it works

Built for the order of appointment.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

Managing a business is a different job than holding an asset

Some receiverships are custodial — you hold a fund, you sell an asset, you distribute. This one is operational. A Michigan circuit court appoints a receiver to manage property or run a business that is caught up in a lawsuit: collecting rents, making payroll, paying vendors, keeping a going concern alive while the parties fight it out.

That is why the bond exists. Under MCL 600.2926 the receiver is charged with the estate as trustee for the benefit of the debtor, creditors, and others interested — every one of whom is relying on you not to mismanage it. The bond answers to them if you do, and the surety then looks to you to repay it.

Because the surety stands behind an operating estate rather than a static one, this bond is underwritten on the receiver’s credit, finances, and experience, and a large property or business can require collateral. We tell you what your specific file needs before you commit.

Michigan StatuteMCL 600.2926 provides that circuit court judges, in the exercise of their equitable powers, may appoint receivers in all cases pending where appointment is allowed by law, and that in all cases in which a receiver is appointed the court shall provide for bond and shall define the receiver’s power and duties where they are not otherwise spelled out by law. Subject to limitations in the law or imposed by the court, the receiver is charged with all of the estate, real and personal debts of the debtor, as trustee for the benefit of the debtor, creditors, and others interested. The court may terminate any receivership and return the property to the debtor whenever that appears to be in the best interest of the debtor, the creditors, and others interested.

FAQ

Common questions.

What is a Michigan receiver bond for management of property or a business?It is the bond a court-appointed receiver files when the order puts them in charge of running property or an operating business in a pending case. It guarantees the receiver manages and accounts for that estate faithfully and obeys the court. Under MCL 600.2926, the court must provide for bond in every case in which it appoints a receiver.

How much does it cost?It is underwritten, not flat-rated. The court fixes the penalty to the property or business you will be managing, and the premium depends on that penalty plus the receiver’s credit, finances, and experience. A surety specialist reviews the file and returns a quote, usually within one business day.

Who decides the bond amount?The appointing court does. MCL 600.2926 requires the court to provide for bond but leaves the amount to its discretion, sized to the estate the receiver is charged with. For rent-producing property or an operating business, courts commonly look at the value of the assets and the cash the receiver will handle. We size and underwrite to whatever the order specifies.

How is this different from a general receiver bond?The obligation is the same in kind, but this form is written for a receivership where the court hands you property or a business to manage. The application collects the case caption, the court that holds the bond, and a description of the property or business under receivership, because those drive both the penalty and the underwriting.

Will I need to post collateral?Sometimes, especially where the penalty is large or the receiver will be handling significant operating cash. Because the surety stands behind the whole estate, a high penalty can call for collateral and supporting financials. We tell you what your file requires before you commit.
