An Administrator Surety Bond is required by a probate court when a person has been appointed to handle the estate of the deceased.
The purpose of the bond is to protect the administration of a will, estate, or guardianship from any financial wrongdoings. The bond amount is decided by the court in order to protect the amount of the estate. If the administrator financially harms the will, estate or guardianship, the amount of this bond is available for compensation.
An administrator bond is very similar to the executor, conservatorship, guardianship, and trustee bonds, with the following differences.
The cost of an Administrator Surety Bond varies based on several factors, including the size of the bond required, which state it is required in and other underwriting considerations. Most administrator bonds do not require a credit check if under $100k in size. To process your bond, we’ll need a copy of the proposed order from the court that specifies the bond requirements and amount.
