What Is a Trustee Bond?
A Trustee Bond is a court‑required surety bond that ensures a trustee performs their fiduciary duties ethically, responsibly, and in full compliance with court orders. These bonds protect beneficiaries and estates from:
- Mismanagement of funds
- Misuse of assets
- Failure to follow court instructions
- Fraud, negligence, or misconduct
If you’ve been appointed as a trustee, executor, administrator, conservator, or guardian, you may need a trustee bond before you can begin your duties.
