Court Bond Calculator FAQ

How much does a court bond cost?

Court bond costs typically range from 0.5% to 5% of the bond amount depending on the type. Probate bonds (administrator, executor, trustee) generally cost 0.5-2%, while appeal bonds run 1-4% and injunction or replevin bonds cost 1-5%. Most court bonds have a minimum premium of $100.

What is the difference between a probate bond and an appeal bond?

A probate bond guarantees that an executor, administrator, guardian, or trustee will faithfully manage an estate or ward's assets as ordered by the court. An appeal bond (also called a supersedeas bond) is required when appealing a court judgment and guarantees payment of the original judgment if the appeal is unsuccessful.

Can I get a court bond with bad credit?

Yes, court bonds are available for applicants with all credit profiles. While good credit (650+) typically secures the lowest rates of 0.5-1%, applicants with lower credit scores can still obtain court bonds at higher premium rates. Some probate bonds may be written without a credit-based decline since they protect the estate rather than a third party.
