How much does a Wyoming 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.

A receiver can’t enter on the duties of the office until the bond is given and approved, so the bond is usually the gating step after appointment. Here is the whole process:

Apply online with the order of appointment, the property in receivership and its value, and the receiver’s details. The value the receiver will hold drives the penal sum.

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 property.

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 Wyoming court appoints a receiver (or referee or 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 and obeys the orders of the court: 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 property 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 — up to double the property involved — and can adjust it as the receivership develops.

Wyoming AuthorityW.S. 1-33-103 (Oath and bond) provides that before entering upon the duties of the office, a receiver shall be sworn to perform them faithfully and, with one or more sureties approved by the court, shall give a bond to such person and in such sum as the court directs, not to exceed double the amount of the property involved, conditioned that the receiver will faithfully discharge the duties of the office and obey the orders of the court. The receivership chapter (W.S. 1-33-101 et seq.) governs appointment and powers.

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 form the court requires with the power of attorney attached, ready to file so the receiver can take control of the property.

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 property and its 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 Wyoming receiver bond?It is the bond a court-appointed receiver, referee, or master gives before entering on the duties of the office. Under W.S. 1-33-103 it is conditioned that the receiver will faithfully discharge those duties and obey the court’s orders, 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 property in receivership, in a sum not exceeding double the property involved. 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 a sum it directs under W.S. 1-33-103, not to exceed double the amount of the property involved. We size and underwrite the bond to whatever the court fixes.
Is there more than one undertaking in a receivership?Sometimes. The receiver gives the W.S. 1-33-103 bond, and the court may also require security from the party that sought the 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.
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.
