Update September 2020: Our agency offers the Florida guardian of incompetents bond up to a $100,000 surety bond requirement, without a credit check. We will need a copy of the court order or minutes to do so. Higher amounts, of course, are also available; however, to be approved, good credit is required.
According to Wex Legal Dictionary, a guardian of incompetents is someone who is judged to be permanently unfit or unable to care for themselves, and because of this unfitness, a guardian is appointed to manage their financial affairs.
In Florida, the Florida guardian of incompetents bond is regulated by state Statute 744.351, which is the specific requirement that appointed guardians obtain a surety bond.
The guardian bond is a type of fiduciary surety bond. The purpose of the surety bond requirement is to serve as a financial guarantee for the court and the person over whom you've been appointed, that you will act in a lawful, disinterested manner, in the managing of the affairs and finances of that person.
Our agency offers you the Florida plenary (plenary meaning "full" or "absolute") guardian of incompetents in any amount required; and up to a $100,000 surety bond amount, we also do so without a credit check inquiry.
To obtain your bond, we'll need the following from you:
Once your Florida guardian surety bond has been approved and the payment received, our agency issues your bond to you immediately along with a a Power of Attorney form. We will sign your bond as Surety; you will sign it as Principal.
You will then file your completed bond with the respective court. In Florida, many jurisdictions permit attorneys to upload a copy of the complete bond and POA to the court's website; however, to be sure, you'll want to first check. If this is the case, then an emailed copy of your completed bond and POA form from our agency will allow you to file the bond more quickly.
Your Florida guardian bond will renew annually, on the anniversary of its issuance, for as long as the presiding court requires surety. Premium paid are earned in full. No refunds, in full or prorated will be available.
Options also exist to prepay your bond for several years which offers you a savings over annual renewals. However, again, premiums paid are earned in full.
