Bond Books
Book Contents
The Bond Book contains an index by last name of decedent or ward and a copy of the bond. The bond is a financial guarantee that the administrator, executor, or guardian will perform the duties required by law. An administrator is appointed by the court when there is no will. An administrator is always required to post a bond unless the heirs unanimously agree to allow the court to waive this requirement. Executors are rarely required to post bond.
