A trustee bond guarantees faithful performance of trustee duties under the appointing instrument or court order.
The surety bond guarantees that the principal will perform the duties required under Fla. Stat. ch. 736 (confirm order) up to the penal sum.
A claim may arise if the principal fails to comply with the bonded Florida obligation or causes covered loss to the obligee or protected parties.
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.
