The Probate Process

When someone passes away with the last will in place, the assets that comprise the estate are not immediately distributed to the heirs by the executor or personal representative. The will must be admitted to probate, and the probate court supervises the administration of the estate.

To protect the heirs, laws typically require the estate administrator to obtain a probate bond. If the executor was to engage in some type of unethical or illegal activities that harmed any of the inheritors’ interests, the probate bond would ensure reimbursement to the damaged party or parties.

Trustee Bonds

Some people use trusts to facilitate asset transfers to their heirs after they pass away. When trust is in place, the probate court is not involved. However, the trustee that was empowered by the deceased to administer the estate could be required to obtain a trustee bond, which serves the same purpose as a probate bond.

Conservator Bonds

There is another type of surety bond that would fall under this general category. Elder adults sometimes become unable to handle their own financial affairs after becoming incapacitated. Under these circumstances, the court may be petitioned to appoint a conservator to act on behalf of the incapacitated adult. A conservator bond can be obtained by the conservator to protect all interested parties against potential intentional acts of financial mismanagement.
