What this bond does
This bond concerns applying the proceeds of the authorized sale or mortgage to the purposes for which the court allowed it. It is tied to the real-estate transaction, not just the general appointment.
- Who needs it
- The guardian or conservator required to give security for the transaction involving the respondent's estate. Use the court-assigned role and the person whose property is involved.
- Who it protects
- Rhode Island Form PC-3.8 makes the bond payable to the probate court and conditions it on proper use of the proceeds. The bond does not itself authorize the sale or mortgage.

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 just my usual appointment bond?
PC-3.8 specifically addresses proceeds from a court-authorized sale or mortgage. Match this separate request to the transaction rather than assuming the general appointment bond satisfies it.
What if I am selling property of a deceased person?
Use the separate deceased-person sale-or-mortgage offering. The official form has distinct choices for those circumstances and for a guardian or conservator.
Does the bond let me sell the property?
No. The court's authorization and the bond serve different purposes. PC-3.8 records the authorized transaction and secures proper application of its proceeds.
