When a guardian is told by the court to purchase a guardianship surety bond, they must obtain the bond in order to serve as a guardian. The guardianship bond is providing protection for the ward. Guardians serve to take care of minors, the elderly, or disabled individuals. More specifically, if someone is determined to incapacitated, a guardian may be selected to take care of financial matters
A guardianship bond, or a custodian bond, acts as a guarantee that the appointed guardian will perform their duties in compliance with applicable state law. The bond safeguards the affairs and interests of the ward and providers them a way to recover should the appointed guardian not perform their duties faithfully and in compliance with the law.
Congruently, the bond does not protect the guardian if they don’t faithfully fulfill their duties. Should there be a breach of duty by the guardian, the ward can substantially recover. However, attributable to the indemnity agreement signed to obtain the bond, the surety bond is then needed to be indemnified by the breaching guardian for the amount paid out to the ward. The ward’s interests are of prominent concern to the court.
