How it works

Built for the order of appointment.

A receiver usually can’t take control of the property until the court-ordered bond is given, so the bond is the gating step after appointment. 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 the receiver will hold 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 form the court requires with the power of attorney attached, ready to file so the receiver can take control of the assets.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What a receiver bond secures

A South Carolina circuit court appoints a receiver (or referee or special master) 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 the duties of the office: collecting, preserving, accounting for, and distributing the property as directed. 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 assets the receiver holds, the bond is underwritten on the receiver’s credit and finances, and a large receivership can require collateral. The court fixes the amount and can adjust it as the receivership develops.

South Carolina StatuteSC Code § 15-65-10, part of Title 15, Chapter 65 (Receivership and Other Provisional Remedies), sets out when a receiver may be appointed — before judgment to protect property in danger of being lost, after judgment to carry it into effect or preserve property pending appeal, and on the dissolution or insolvency of a corporation. The appointing circuit court fixes the receiver’s bond, conditioned on faithful discharge of the office. Under SC Code § 15-65-50, a party may prevent a pre-judgment receivership by offering a bond in double the value of the property, with sufficient surety, to account for and deliver over the property.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

What is a South Carolina receiver bond? +
It is the bond a court-appointed receiver, referee, or master gives before taking control of property. Under SC Code § 15-65-10 the appointing circuit court fixes a bond conditioned that the receiver will faithfully discharge the duties of the office, protecting the property placed in receivership.
How much does it cost? +
It is underwritten, not flat-rated. The court fixes the penal sum to the value of the assets in receivership. 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 court that made the appointment does, in an amount it fixes, usually high enough to cover the cash and transferable property the receiver will hold under SC Code § 15-65-10. We size and underwrite the bond to whatever the court fixes.
Is there more than one bond in a receivership? +
Sometimes. The receiver gives the bond the appointing court fixes, and a party may separately offer a bond in double the value of the property under SC Code § 15-65-50 to prevent a pre-judgment receivership. We help structure whichever bond 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.
