A Vermont Guardians Bond is a type of surety bond required under Vermont law for any person or entity who wishes to serve as a Guardian of a minor or incapacitated person. The bond serves to protect the financial interests of the ward by guaranteeing that the Guardian will act in a responsible and ethical manner in the performance of their duties. Types of Vermont Guardians Bond include: Conservator Bond, Guardian Ad Item Bond, and Personal Representative Bond. Each bond guarantees the faithful performance of duty of the Guardian and requires them to handle the financial or personal matters of the ward in accordance with the laws of the state of Vermont. The bond also guarantees that the Guardian will properly account for all funds or assets held in the name of the ward and will make all payments as ordered by the court.
