What is a receiver bond?
A receiver takes control of property or a business on the court's behalf, such as a building in foreclosure, a partnership being wound up, or assets collected after a judgment. A receiver bond guarantees the receiver will do the job faithfully and follow the court's orders. If the receiver fails to do so, the bond can pay a valid claim, up to the bond amount.
- Receivers in foreclosure cases, who manage or sell the property.
- Receivers in partnership or business disputes, who run or wind up the business.
- Receivers in judgment enforcement, who collect and hold assets for the creditor.
Requirements vary by court and by order. The order appointing you is the final word.
The amount is set in the order
The court sets the bond amount, not the surety. Look in the order appointing the receiver for the dollar figure and any conditions. State law says the same thing: for example, Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code 64.023 says a receiver's bond must be approved by the court, in an amount fixed by the court, and conditioned on faithful discharge of the receiver's duties and obedience to the court's orders. Receivers in federal court serve under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 66, which governs actions involving receivers; check your appointing order for the bond requirement.

The premium is typically a small percentage of the bond amount per year; the carrier sets the final price. It is an estimate until underwriting is complete.
