What it is and who needs it.
What the trust bond actually guarantees
A special needs trust holds assets for someone with a disability without disqualifying them from needs-based benefits. When a Tennessee court appoints a trustee to manage one, it may require a fiduciary surety bond to protect the beneficiary against loss from the trustee’s mismanagement or misappropriation.
Under the Tennessee Uniform Trust Code, a trustee gives bond only if the court finds a bond is needed to protect the beneficiaries or the terms of the trust require it. The court sets the amount when it enters the order — generally based on the value of the trust assets the trustee will control.
The bond protects the beneficiary, not the trustee. If a trustee breaches their fiduciary duty and the beneficiary is harmed, a claim can be made against the bond — and if the surety pays, the trustee repays the surety. Enter the court-ordered amount and we issue it at a flat 3%.
