Fiduciary Bond

Also known as a Probate bond, a fiduciary surety bond guarantees faithful performance of duties by anyone legally entrusted with the care of an adult or minor. For example, probate bonds are used for protecting property and people when death occurs. Upon death, if the deceased failed to name an executor, the probate court will appoint one. The probate court handles the deceased estate and a probate bond is used to secure the performance of an estate’s executors. Fiduciaries are often required to post a surety bond to protect against un-faithful performance of their duties. Fiduciary bonds or probate bonds can be required by courts, legal documents and or statutes to give family members, heirs, etc the ability for legal and financial recourse should the executor act in an unfaithful performance of their duties.
