When a Missouri court appoints a receiver, master, or referee, it usually requires a bond before that person takes control of the property.
Under the Commercial Receivership Act (RSMo §515.530), the bond runs in favor of everyone with an interest in the receivership.
The court fixes the amount to the assets, so the bond is underwritten, not flat-rated.
Tell us the value under control and a specialist quotes it, usually within one business day.
















The order frequently conditions the receiver’s authority on a bond. Here is the whole path:
Court, case number, the penal sum the order specifies (or the estate / property value), and who the principal is. That is the whole application — no scavenger hunt.
A court-bond underwriter reviews the matter and the amount. For larger penal sums, expect a soft credit check and possibly financials or collateral — we tell you exactly what, up front.
You receive a firm quote and, on acceptance, the executed bond on the court’s required form ready to file with the clerk. Wet-ink originals mailed when the court insists.
A receiver is a neutral person the court appoints to take custody of property in dispute — a business, real estate, or other assets — and manage or liquidate it under court supervision. Because the receiver controls assets that belong to others, the court requires security.
Under the Missouri Commercial Receivership Act (RSMo §515.500–§515.665), the receiver gives bond as the court directs. Per §515.530, unless the court orders otherwise the bond runs in favor of all persons having an interest in the receivership proceeding or property, and in favor of state agencies.
The court fixes the amount to the value of the assets under the receiver’s control. Because that figure is matter-specific, the bond is individually underwritten, not flat-rated. The same framework covers masters and referees the court appoints in equity.
