In a civil proceeding, bonds are often required by the court, as they protect those involved in the proceedings and guarantee the bonded parties – either the plaintiff or defendant or both – will take action.
Certain legislation, along with the court’s ruling, typically set the required dollar amount of these bonds.
Court Bonds can generally be broken down into 2 distinct categories:
1️⃣ Civil Court Bonds
– Required by the court at significant point in litigation process. It protects the opposing party from any loss suffered as a result of the court’s having temporarily granted the privilege.
2️⃣ Fiduciary Bonds (Probate Bonds)
– Required by a court when an individual, or corporation are appointed in wills, deed of trust, guardians or conservators of minors or wards of the court to take control of the property and/or manage, transfer and distribute the assets in accordance with the court’s orders. These bonds guarantee that the interest of those concerned will be properly safeguarded.
