The surety bond guarantees that the principal will perform the duties required under Fla. Stat. ch. 733 (Florida Probate Code — confirm order) up to the penal sum.

If a claim is valid, the surety may pay up to the bond penalty according to the bond terms; the principal remains liable to reimburse the surety.
