Common questions about disbursing agent bonds
Disbursing agent bonds are required when courts appoint agents to handle distribution of funds and assets in legal proceedings, bankruptcy cases, or settlement distributions. The bond protects beneficiaries and creditors from mismanagement during the distribution process.
Disbursing agents handle the distribution of funds and assets according to court orders, settlement agreements, or liquidation plans. They ensure proper distribution to creditors, beneficiaries, or other entitled parties while maintaining detailed records and reporting to the court.
Disbursing agent bond premiums typically range from 0.5% to 2% annually of the bond amount, depending on the agent's credit, experience, and complexity of the distribution. Most bonds cost $1,000-$20,000 per year, with larger distributions requiring higher premiums.
