The Florida executor or administrator with will annexed is a type of probate proceeding.
Despite the long name, its meaning is simple. This probate proceeding refers to:
In both cases someone is appointed – annexed – who is not named in the will as executor to serve as executor of the estate.
As per Statute 733.402, a surety bond amount to be decided by the court is also required.
If you have been appointed executor of an estate, and are required to obtain bonding, the purpose of the bond is as follows:
The bond protects the estate, and any heirs of the estate, from acts of the theft, fraud, embezzlement, or criminal misconduct committed by an executor in the management of the affairs of the estate under probate.
As such, it is not an insurance policy for you; rather, it is a policy which you are required to purchase whose sole purpose (besides satisfying the court requirements) is to protect the estate.
Since you are acting in a fiduciary capacity over the estate’s holdings (this bond is a type of fiduciary bond), the bond is a financial guarantee that once the estate has been settled, the proper distribution of the estate will occur.
The amount of surety bond that you will be required to purchase will be in an amount that is reflective of the estate’s gross value, any liens and amounts owed on the estate, creditors to the estate, and in value of all tangible goods in the estate.
The amount will be established by the court in a form of a court order.
