Nevada receiver bonds.
Conditioned on faithful discharge.

When a Nevada court appoints you as receiver, it sets a bond before you take control of the property. The court specifies the amount, conditioned on the faithful discharge of your duties. The bond protects everyone with an interest in the estate or property you’re receiving. We size it to the court’s order, underwrite it, and a specialist returns a quote.

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 guarantees

A receiver is appointed by a court to take custody of and manage property — a business, real estate, or contested assets — while a dispute is resolved. It is a position of real trust over other people’s money.

The receiver bond guarantees you’ll discharge those duties faithfully. If a receiver mismanages, misapplies, or fails to account for the property, the parties with an interest in it can recover against the bond.

Because the amount is set by the court and the role carries real exposure, the bond is underwritten, not flat-rated. We size it to the court’s order, underwrite your background, and flag any financial review before you commit.

Nevada authorityUnder NRS 32.275, a receiver shall post with the court a bond conditioned on the faithful discharge of the receiver’s duties, with one or more sureties approved by the court, in an amount the court specifies and effective as of the date of appointment — though the court may authorize a receiver to act before posting it.

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. We issue the receiver’s bond on the court’s terms with the carrier’s power of attorney, so you can enter on your duties.

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.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much does a Nevada receiver bond cost?It’s underwritten, not flat-rated. The court specifies the bond amount under NRS 32.275, and the surety prices a premium against that figure, the nature of the receivership, and your background. Larger matters 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. NRS 32.275 has the receiver post a bond in the amount the court specifies, conditioned on faithful discharge of duties and with sureties the court approves. We bond to whatever the court sets.
Can I act before the bond is posted?Sometimes. NRS 32.275 lets the court authorize a receiver to act before posting the bond or alternative security. But where the court requires it first, the bond must be in place before you enter on your duties — we can move quickly.
What does the bond protect against?A receiver’s failure to faithfully discharge the role — mismanaging, misapplying, or failing to account for the property under your control. The parties with an interest in the receivership can recover against the bond. It’s protection for them, not insurance for you.
How fast can it be issued?Once we have the court’s amount and your details, a specialist underwrites and quotes within one business day in most cases, with issuance promptly on approval so you can enter on your duties.
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.
