The Pennsylvania Waiver of Fiduciary Bond is a form issued by the state of Pennsylvania to waive the requirement of an individual or business to obtain a fiduciary bond, also known as a surety bond. A fiduciary bond is a type of surety bond that guarantees the performance of a fiduciary duty, such as the faithful management of assets held in trust. This type of bond ensures that a fiduciary will act in accordance with their duties and responsibilities, and that any losses which may arise due to their negligence or wrongful acts will be covered by the surety company that issued the bond. There are two types of Pennsylvania Waiver of Fiduciary Bond: the Pennsylvania Waiver of Fiduciary Bond for Personal Representatives and the Pennsylvania Waiver of Fiduciary Bond for Trustees. The Pennsylvania Waiver of Fiduciary Bond for Personal Representatives is issued to waive the requirement for an individual to obtain a surety bond when they are appointed as a personal representative of someone who has passed away. The Pennsylvania Waiver of Fiduciary Bond for Trustees is issued to waive the requirement for trustees of a trust to obtain a fiduciary bond. Both waivers are signed by the applicable court and are legally binding documents.
