Court Bonds – Non fiduciary

Court bonds- non- fiduciary are surety bonds that are required in civil court. This page outlines civil bond types that are frequently requested for these civil court cases.

TRO (Temporary Restraining Order) Bond

A Temporary Restraining Order Bond restrains the defendant from performing a specific act that is thought to cause harm to the plaintiff. These bonds are issued for a short period of time—usually no longer than 30-90 days.

A Preliminary Injunction Bond is needed when a current Temporary Restraining Order bond has exceeded its time limit, and the courts have approved the action to become permanent.

Probate/Estate Bonds are civil court bonds needed when a person is handling the estate or affairs of another—usually those of the deceased or a minor.
