What is a Court Bond?
Court bonds are legal instruments that provide a financial guarantee that individuals in fiduciary roles will perform their duties ethically and according to the law. Whether you’re named as a trustee, executor, curator or guardian, a Court Bond assures the court that you’ll carry out your duties responsibly.
Think of it as a promise backed by a guarantee. If the appointed individual fails to act according to the law or causes financial harm, the bond provides compensation to the affected parties.
