What is a Trustee Bond?

A trustee bond, is a type of probate bond, that is often required for anyone who has been appointed as the trustee of a trust or estate. When a person creates a trust it will usually become applicable to others once the person passes away and a trustee is appointed by the court to manage the trust and any financial affairs associated with it. The trustee bond ensures that the trustee will act in accordance with the trust and abide by any instructions associated with it as the trust. This includes disbursement of any assets to the correct recipients in accordance with the trust. The bond protects the recipients of the trust against the trustee acting in any fraudulent or dishonest manner. A trustee bond falls under the probate bond category along with administrator bond and executive bond.
