Probate Bonds: Probate bonds are the same as Fiduciary Bonds, Executor Bonds and Estate Bonds. They are all mandated by the court system and provide security that the appointed person will perform in a proper manner when allocating the assets of a deceased or disabled individual.

A probate bond is a financial instrument which provides a safeguard that the executor will distribute property and assets in accordance with the wishes in someone's will, or, if there is no will, in accordance with the particular laws of the jurisdiction. The probate bond is similar to collateral. In other words, money is put up to insure that the executor or administrator will perform his duties in good faith.

Normally, obtaining a bond for probate is not difficult, provided you have a good credit history. If you have flawed credit, your bond may need to be written through a specialty market. Our specialty probate bond markets allow for applicants with bad credit to obtain a bond.
