What is a Probate Bond?
An insurance policy that, unless waived by a Will or Trust (and agreed to by the judge in the case of a Will), is required by the courts. The amount of the bond is determined by the type of authority sought by the Petitioner and the value of the property that is estimated to exist in the estate. Larger bonds require a good credit rating.
Court Supervision
The Probate Division of the Superior Court supervises the probate procedure, but they do so according to their rules and definitions. For example, most actions by the Estate Personal Representative are only reviewed by the court at the end of the process, upon the filing of the Report, Account, and Petition for Final Distribution.
