FAQ
An Executor Bond is a type of surety bond that guarantees the Executor will administer the estate according to law. An Executor Bond gives beneficiaries peace of mind, reassuring them that even if the Executor somehow loses or mishandles the estate's assets, the bond will protect them and they will be compensated.
An Executor is named in the last will and testament of a decedent.To ensure an Executor carries out their duties, the court might require the Executor to get bonded with an Executor Bond. If the will states a bond is not required, the court still might require one.
An administration bond is a bond that is posted on behalf of an administrator of an estate to provide assurance that they will conduct their duties according to the provisions of the will and/or the legal requirements of the jurisdiction.
The purpose of the bond is to protect the beneficiaries or creditors of the estate from harm caused by the malfeasance or negligence of the executor or administrator. In California, a probate court bond is issued to administrators, executors, conservators and guardians in probate estates.
As an aside, Vermont Statute Title 32 § 1143 states that executors may be paid $4 per day spent in court, but this is geared towards the court paying appointed agents, and that amount was set in 1866.
The amount is typically based on the total estate value the fiduciary will be responsible for. Probate bond premiums are typically calculated at just . 5%, or $5/thousand for the first $250,000 of coverage. This means $100,000 of coverage would cost just $500.
