A bond may be required in relation to the handling of an estate or guardianship. This type of bond is most commonly needed when a court appointed fiduciary takes control of a person’s property and distributes proceeds according to law. Court bonds ensure that one is protected from possible loss as a result of the outcome of the proceeding.
Contract Bonds
Contract Bonds are required by federal, state, or local governments to guarantee the completion of a job as per the terms of a contract (typically construction). Examples include bid bonds, performance bonds, and subdivision bonds.
