What this bond does
The bond secures duties involving another adult's property under the appointment and bond conditions. It addresses the fiduciary's handling of assets, rather than administration of a deceased person's estate.
- Who needs it
- The conservator or guardian asked to provide a bond in the adult's case. Check whether your appointment concerns property, personal care or both before entering your role.
- Who it protects
- The protected interest is the ward's property entrusted to the fiduciary, as described in the bond. The bond does not enlarge the powers granted by the probate court.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Questions about this bond
Does this apply to a living adult's property?
That is the role identified by this offering. A deceased person's estate uses an estate-representative bond, and a child's appointment has a separate minor offering.
Does a personal-care appointment establish the bond requirement?
Use the actual bond request. A care role and authority over property can differ, so clarify which duties the requested bond must secure.
Should I calculate the bond from the adult's assets?
Use the court-directed amount. Asset information may help answer application questions, but this page supplies no formula or fixed amount for the case.
