A guardian bond is a court-required surety bond for individuals appointed to serve as guardian over a minor or an incapacitated adult. The bond guarantees that the guardian will manage the ward's assets and personal affairs honestly, follow court orders, and act in the ward's best interest at all times.
If a guardian mismanages funds, neglects their duties, or fails to follow probate or guardianship law, the court or an interested party can file a claim against the bond.
