Guardianship Bonds

If you’ve been appointed by the court to serve as a guardian for a minor, elderly individual, or someone deemed legally incapacitated, you may be required to obtain a Guardianship Bond. This court-ordered surety bond protects the person under guardianship by ensuring that their appointed guardian carries out their duties lawfully, ethically, and in the individual’s best interests. At Blaikie Group, we specialize in issuing Guardianship Bonds quickly, affordably, and in full compliance with state and court requirements. We offer fast, free quotes, low rates, and nationwide service as one of the nation’s largest surety bond producers.

What Is a Guardianship Bond?

A Guardianship Bond is a type of fiduciary surety bond required by courts when a person is appointed as the legal guardian of another individual who is unable to care for themselves or manage their own finances. This bond ensures that the guardian will perform their responsibilities with honesty, integrity, and in accordance with all applicable laws. If the guardian mismanages funds, commits fraud, or neglects their duties, the court or interested parties can file a claim against the Guardianship Bond to recover losses.

The Guardianship Bond acts as a financial guarantee that the guardian will be accountable and transparent when handling the assets, finances, or care of the person they are appointed to protect.

Who Needs a Guardianship Bond?

Court-appointed guardians may be required to post a Guardianship Bond when they are responsible for:

  • A minor whose parents are deceased or unfit to care for them
  • A senior or elderly adult with mental or physical impairments
  • An adult with special needs or disabilities
  • Managing an estate or financial assets on behalf of someone else

The requirement for a Guardianship Bond is typically set by the court and based on the value of the assets being managed, the complexity of the case, and whether the guardian has access to the individual’s finances. Even if a will or family member requests that the bond be waived, the court may still require one to ensure proper oversight.

Types of Guardianship Bonds

Depending on the role assigned, the court may require different types of Guardianship Bonds:

  • Guardianship of the Person – For guardians responsible for making personal and medical decisions.
  • Guardianship of the Estate – For guardians managing finances, property, or investments.
  • Plenary Guardianship – Covers both the person and the estate of the individual under guardianship.

Blaikie Group can issue Guardianship Bonds for all types of court appointments in every state, including those filed under probate or family law divisions.

How Much Does a Guardianship Bond Cost?

Premiums typically range from 0.5% to 1% annually. For example, a $100,000 Guardianship Bond may cost between $500 and $1,000 per year depending on your credit and qualifications.
