How much does a Minnesota receiver bond cost?

It is underwritten. The carrier’s base rate is 0.4% of the bond amount; the underwriter sets your premium from the amount, your credit and any collateral.

How it works

Built for the order of appointment.

The order appointing a receiver usually sets the bond, and the receiver can’t fully act until it’s posted. 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 penal sum.

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 amount 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 post so the receiver can take control of the assets.

In plain English

How a receiver bond works, and what to have ready.

  1. Why the court asks for it

    A court has appointed you as receiver, or as a master or referee, to take charge of property or a business while a case is decided. The court requires a bond before you take control.

  2. Who it protects

    The parties to the case and the court. If you fail to carry out the court's orders faithfully, they can recover the loss from the bond, up to the bond amount.

  3. If there is a claim

    The surety pays a valid claim and you repay the surety.

Have these ready

  • The order appointing you, with the bond amount
  • The court, case number and the parties' names
  • A description and estimated value of the property or business you will control
  • A short summary of your experience as a receiver or fiduciary
  • Your attorney's name and contact details
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 handles those assets faithfully: collects, preserves, accounts, and distributes them 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. We tell you what a given file needs before you commit.

Minnesota StatuteMinnesota’s receivership statute, Chapter 576, governs court-appointed receivers. Under Minn. Stat. § 576.27, a receiver must post a bond or alternative security in the amount the court orders, conditioned on the faithful discharge of the receiver’s duties; the appointing court fixes the amount in its order, sized to the assets in receivership. The court may increase, decrease, or otherwise modify the bond as the receivership proceeds.

After you buy

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.

If a claim is made

A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.

The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.

Renewal and term

Term and renewal are set in the underwriter's quote.

Keep the bond in force for as long as the obligation behind it runs.

How to file it

Execute & file. Once you bind, we issue the executed bond on the court’s required form with the power of attorney attached, ready to post so the receiver can take control of the assets.

What sets the price

This bond is underwritten. The carrier's base rate for this bond is 0.4% of the bond amount; the underwriter sets your final premium from the amount, your credit and any collateral.

The application takes about ten minutes.

These are the actual underwriting fields — the order of appointment, the assets and their value, the receiver’s details, and financials. Submit once and a surety specialist reviews everything together and returns a quote, typically within one business day. Free until your bond is issued.

FAQ

Common questions.

What is a Minnesota receiver bond?It is the bond a court-appointed receiver posts before taking control of property in a receivership. Under Minn. Stat. § 576.27 the receiver gives a bond, conditioned on faithfully discharging the receiver’s duties, in the amount the court fixes in its order of appointment — sized to the assets the receiver will manage.
How much does it cost?It is underwritten, not flat-rated. The court sets the penal sum to the assets in receivership. A surety specialist reviews the receiver’s file and any collateral and returns a premium quote, usually within one business day.
Who sets the bond amount?The appointing court does, in its order under Minn. Stat. § 576.27, sized to the value of the assets in receivership, and it can modify the amount as the receivership proceeds. We size the bond to the court’s order, underwrite the receiver, and quote the premium.
Will I need to post collateral?Often, for a large receivership. Because the surety stands behind the entire estate, a large penal sum can require collateral such as cash, a letter of credit, or pledged assets, supported by financials. We tell you what your specific file requires 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 is ready to post so the receiver can take control of the assets.
Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
