Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about probate bonds

What are probate bonds?

Probate bonds are court-required surety bonds that protect beneficiaries when someone is appointed to manage estate or trust assets. They guarantee faithful performance of fiduciary duties including executors, administrators, guardians, and trustees.

When are probate bonds required?

Probate bonds are required when courts appoint fiduciaries to manage estates, trusts, or guardianships, unless specifically waived. This includes executors of wills, administrators of intestate estates, guardians of minors, and trustees.

How much do probate bonds cost?

Probate bond premiums typically range from 0.5% to 3% annually of the bond amount, depending on credit score, experience, and complexity. Most bonds cost $500-$15,000 per year.

Can probate bond requirements be waived?

Yes, in some cases. Wills may include language waiving bond requirements. Courts may waive bonds for family members or when all beneficiaries consent. Small estates may qualify for simplified procedures.

How long does a probate bond stay in effect?

Probate bonds remain in effect until the estate is closed and the court releases the bond obligation. This can range from several months to several years depending on estate complexity.
