How much does a New Mexico 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 filed. 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 file with the clerk 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 faithfully discharges those duties: collects, preserves, accounts for, and distributes the assets 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. The court sets the amount in its discretion — often a multiple of monthly gross rents for rent-producing property — and we’ll flag what applies.

New Mexico RuleRule 1-066 NMRA (Injunctions and Receivers) governs the appointment of receivers in the New Mexico district courts. No receiver shall be appointed without notice to the opposite party, and no appointment shall occur except upon the giving of security by the applicant, in such sum as the court deems proper, for the costs and damages of a party found to have been wrongfully restrained. The court fixes the receiver’s own bond, with surety it approves, conditioned on the faithful discharge of the duties of the receiver, in an amount sized to the assets in receivership.

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 file with the clerk 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, and your finances. Submit once and a surety specialist returns a quote, typically within one business day. Free until your bond is issued.

FAQ

Common questions.

What is a New Mexico receiver bond?It is the bond a court-appointed receiver, master, or referee files to guarantee faithful discharge of the receiver’s duties over the property in receivership. Under Rule 1-066 NMRA, a receiver is appointed only on notice and security, and the court fixes the receiver’s own bond with surety it approves.
How much does it cost?It is underwritten, not flat-rated. The court sets the penal sum to the value of the assets in receivership, in its discretion. A surety specialist then reviews the receiver’s credit and finances and any collateral and returns a premium quote, usually within one business day.
Who sets the bond amount?The appointing court does, sizing it to the assets the receiver will control. For rent-producing property the bond is often set at a multiple of monthly gross rents. We size and underwrite the bond to whatever amount the order of appointment specifies.
When must the bond be filed?On appointment. Rule 1-066 NMRA requires notice before a receiver is appointed and the giving of security, and the receiver files the bond the court fixes before taking up the duties of receiver. We help structure whichever the court orders.
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 issues on the court’s form, ready to file so the receiver can take possession.
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.
