A court-appointed receiver takes control of property the court is protecting. The bond guarantees you’ll faithfully discharge the receiver’s duties. The court sets the amount to the value in receivership — and we underwrite it. A surety specialist reviews your file and returns a quote, usually within one business day.
















The order appointing a receiver usually sets the bond, and the receiver can’t enter on duties until it’s posted. Here is the whole process:
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.
A specialist reviews the order, the receiver’s credit and finances, and any collateral, then returns a quote. The amount is specified by the court — underwriting decides approval and collateral.
Once you bind, we issue the executed bond with sureties approved by the court, ready to file so the receiver can enter on duties and take control of the assets.
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 handles those assets faithfully: collects, preserves, accounts, and distributes them in accordance with the orders of the court and state law. If the receiver mismanages, the bond secures the persons interested in the receivership, 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. Chapter 7.60 RCW lets the court approve alternative security — a letter of credit or a deposit of funds with the clerk — in lieu of a bond. We’ll flag what applies, and the cost can be charged against the estate.
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.
