Nevada probate & fiduciary bonds.
Sized to the estate.

When a Nevada court appoints you to handle an estate or a protected person’s affairs, it can require a bond.
The amount tracks the estate — personal property plus a year’s income, unless the will sets it.
The bond protects the heirs, beneficiaries, creditors and wards who depend on you.
We size it to the court’s order, underwrite it, and a specialist returns a quote.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What a fiduciary bond guarantees

When you’re appointed executor, administrator, guardian, or conservator, you’re handling someone else’s money and property. A probate or fiduciary bond is the court’s assurance that you’ll do it honestly and follow the law.

If a fiduciary mismanages assets, self-deals, or fails to account, the people who were supposed to be protected — heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, or a ward — can recover against the bond. It is protection for them, not insurance for you.

Because the bond is sized to the estate and underwritten on your background, it is quote-on-review, not flat-rated. Most clear quickly on credit; larger estates may call for financials. We tell you what’s needed up front.

Nevada authorityUnder NRS 142.020, the requirement of a bond is discretionary with the court; when required, the amount is the estimated value of all personal property plus income for one year from both real and personal property, unless the will expressly fixes the amount. Guardianship and conservatorship appointments are governed by NRS chapter 159.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

How much does a Nevada probate bond cost? +
It’s underwritten, not flat-rated. The court sizes the bond to the estate under NRS 142.020 — generally personal property plus a year’s income — and the surety prices a premium on that amount and your credit. Larger estates may require financials. Send us the details and a specialist returns a quote, usually within one business day.
Who sets the bond amount? +
The court. Under NRS 142.020 a bond isn’t always required, but when it is, the amount is the estimated value of all personal property plus one year’s income from real and personal property — unless the will expressly fixes it.
Can the bond be waived? +
Sometimes. A will can waive bond, and Nevada courts may decline to require one — for example when liquid assets are held in a blocked account or attorney trust account. If the court still requires a bond, we’ll size and quote it.
Does my credit matter? +
Yes — fiduciary bonds are underwritten partly on the fiduciary’s credit and background, since the surety is standing behind your honest administration. Most applicants qualify; a rough patch doesn’t automatically disqualify you. Larger estates add a financial review.
I’m a guardian, not an executor. Same bond? +
Same family of bond, different chapter. Guardians and conservators are appointed under NRS chapter 159, and the court can require a fiduciary bond just as it does in probate. We handle both — tell us your appointment and we’ll bond to the court’s order.
