Guardianship & Conservator Bonds

Place a guardianship bond for your client through Baker's wholesale surety market. Covers guardians and conservators of a minor or incapacitated adult.

A guardianship bond is a fiduciary surety bond required of a guardian or conservator the court appoints to manage the person or assets of a minor or an incapacitated adult, known as the ward.

What it does

  • Guarantees the guardian or conservator protects the ward's interests and finances
  • Answers to the ward's estate if the guardian misuses or neglects the assets
  • The court sets the penal amount, often based on the assets under the guardian's control

Who needs it

  • A guardian appointed over the person or property of a minor
  • A conservator managing the estate of an incapacitated adult
  • Anyone the court names to safeguard a ward's assets

Terms vary by state — some courts separate guardian of the person from guardian of the estate.
