Court &
Fiduciary Bonds
Court-Ordered Bonds Made Easier
If a court has told you that you need a surety bond, there's a good chance you've never purchased one before.
You may be administering an estate, serving as a guardian or trustee, handling a legal proceeding, or helping a client satisfy a court requirement. Whatever the circumstances, you probably want the same things: a clear explanation of what's required, straightforward pricing and a responsive person who can help you get the bond in place.
At Anderson & Catania Surety Services, surety bonds are all we do. Our experienced team helps individuals, attorneys and other professionals navigate court and fiduciary bond requirements every day.
Start With the Court Order
You don't need to become a surety bond expert.
Send us the court order or bond requirement and we'll help you determine what type of bond is needed, the required bond amount and what information the surety company will need to approve it.
Our goal is to make the process as straightforward as possible.
What Can You Expect From Us?
Probate & Fiduciary Bonds
Probate and fiduciary bonds are generally required when a court appoints someone to manage money, property or other assets on behalf of another person or an estate.
The bond helps protect the estate, beneficiaries or other interested parties by guaranteeing that the court-appointed fiduciary will perform their responsibilities according to the court's requirements.
We regularly assist with bonds for:
First Time Serving as a Fiduciary?
That's common.
Many of the people who contact us have never needed a surety bond before. They may be settling the estate of a parent or family member, accepting responsibility as a guardian, or fulfilling another court-appointed role.
We'll explain the bonding process in plain language, tell you what information is needed and help you move from the court's requirement to an issued bond.
Judicial Court Bonds
We also assist attorneys, businesses and individuals with bonds arising from litigation and other judicial proceedings.
These may include:
Judicial bonds can involve specific statutory requirements, court-approved bond forms, collateral requirements and strict filing deadlines. Having an experienced surety professional involved early can help identify these requirements before they delay a legal proceeding.
What Information Will I Need?
Requirements vary depending on the type and amount of bond, but getting started is usually straightforward.
Providing the court order or other document requiring the bond is often the best first step. Depending on the bond, the surety may also request information about the estate or assets involved, the individual serving as fiduciary, the legal proceeding and the required bond amount.
We'll review what you have and tell you what else is needed.
Need a Court or Fiduciary Bond?
You may only purchase a court bond once or twice in your lifetime. We've spent decades working with surety bonds.
Send us the court order or tell us what you've been asked to provide. We'll explain the requirement, outline the cost and help you get the bond in place.
