Custodian Bonds
Court-Controlled Asset Management

When a court appoints a custodian (often for a minor or an incapacitated person), a custodian bond ensures that the property, funds, or assets are appropriately managed. Custodian bonds may overlap with guardianship, but their primary focus is on the care and preservation of property under court control.

What Custodian Bonds Do

  • Ensure faithful management of assets under custody
  • Protect against misappropriation or loss
  • Ensure court oversight of disbursements or transfers

Court Requirements

  • Courts appoint custodians when property or funds are held for minors or those with limited legal capacity
  • The court sets the bond based on the value of assets under the custodian’s control
  • Custodians must apply, post bond, file protective affidavits, and follow court-ordered reports

Common Scenarios

  • Minor receives a settlement or inheritance, but a guardian isn’t needed
  • Incapacitated person with court-appointed custodian (for trust, fund management)
  • Funds held in escrow or under court order pending litigation or claim resolution
