A trustee bond is a court-required surety bond for individuals or entities appointed to manage assets held in trust for beneficiaries. The bond guarantees that the trustee will manage trust assets honestly, follow the terms of the trust, and act in the best interest of the beneficiaries at all times.
If a trustee mismanages trust assets, breaches their fiduciary duty, or fails to follow the terms of the trust, beneficiaries or the court can file a claim against the bond.
