Common questions
Does the appointment concern a person, property or both?
Bring appointment papers and an inventory of assets handled. Compare that information with the exact capacity, activity and obligee named in the written request. Similar catalog labels do not establish an interchangeable form.
Is a type guide the bond I should purchase?
A type guide explains the activity. Choose a jurisdiction-associated parent listing and compare its actual source options with your written requirement; the type page is not a purchasable form.
