An Estate Bond, also known as an Executor Bond, Fiduciary Bond, or Probate Bond, is a type of court bond that acts as a type of insurance policy when someone dies or becomes disabled. The estate bond insures that the requests of the deceased or disabled person are carried out in full. This type of court bond protects the wishes of the deceased as outlined in their last will and testament. An executor is assigned in a will or trust as being the person who is responsible for carrying out any last requests according to the will. The estate bond acts as a form of insurance to ensure the executor acts lawfully and truthfully while carrying out all tasks as specified in the will. Estate bond requirements vary based on state and/or county, but your local municipality can help identify whether or not you are required to obtain one as the executor of an estate.
Court bond requirements vary by city and state. Typically the executor bond cost will depend on the coverage needed based on the value of the estate. Estate Bond premiums are typically .5% of the total bond cost. The price can vary if the individual seeking the bond has poor credit or negative bond history.

The estate bond is a form of insurance for all beneficiaries. Sadly, when someone passes away it is not uncommon to see an executor of the estate fail to abide by the legal agreement of the will, which is why the estate bond is often required.
