What this bond does
The bond secures faithful performance of the appointed representative's duties. For a child's property proceeding, use the appointment and bond form to identify which assets and responsibilities are involved.
- Who needs it
- The individual representative asked to give security for the minor's appointment. Enter the appointed person's name and capacity, rather than assuming a parent or caregiver is the bond applicant.
- Who it protects
- The bond concerns the minor's interest in proper performance of the bonded duties. It does not itself grant authority to handle the child's money or property.

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
Is this a general Illinois estate-administration bond?
This particular offering identifies a conservator or guardian of a minor. A deceased person's estate requires a bond matched to the estate representative's different duties.
Does a guardian of the person always need this bond?
Section 12-2 permits waiver of filing in specified personal and standby roles. Follow the actual appointment and bond direction rather than assuming every guardianship has the same requirement.
What amount should I enter?
Enter the required amount from the child's proceeding. This offering does not state a fixed amount or term.
How do I continue with RLI?
Purchase Now opens RLI in a new tab through The Southern Agency. The provider reviews the application before issuance; delivery and court acceptance of the executed bond remain separate.
