What are court bonds used for?

Court bonds are required in legal proceedings to protect parties from financial loss. Common uses include probate proceedings (executor/administrator bonds), appeals (appeal bonds), guardianships (guardian bonds), and other court-ordered situations.

How much do court bonds cost?

Court bond premiums typically range from 0.5% to 5% of the bond amount annually, depending on the bond type, amount, and applicant's financial strength. Smaller bonds may have minimum premiums of $100-$500.

How quickly can I get a court bond?

We offer emergency court bond service with same-day and next-day options. Simple bonds can often be issued within hours, while complex estates may require additional underwriting time.

Do I need collateral for a court bond?

Collateral requirements depend on the bond amount and your financial strength. Small probate bonds often require no collateral, while large estate bonds or appeal bonds may require security.

What happens if there's a claim against my court bond?

If a valid claim is made, the surety company will investigate and may pay damages up to the bond amount. You are then responsible for reimbursing the surety company for any amounts paid.

Can court bonds be renewed?

Yes, most court bonds can be renewed annually. Probate bonds typically remain in effect until the estate is closed and the court releases the bond obligation.
