Cancel or Modify Bond

To Cancel or Modify Your Bond: Submit a Court Order

Probate bonds cannot be canceled, increased, or reduced without a court order. If you wish to cancel or modify your bond, you must provide us with a court order issued by the court overseeing your case. Without this document, we are legally unable to make any changes to your bond.

Why Court Orders Are Required

Probate bonds are governed by strict legal requirements. The court is the only authority that can cancel, increase, or reduce a probate bond. Simply calling to request a cancellation is not sufficient. Without a court order, it is illegal for us to cancel or modify your bond.

Important Details About Probate Bonds

• Estates: Typically, estates are straightforward. Once the court approves the final accounting, the bond can be canceled with the required court order.
• Guardianships: In guardianship cases, it’s common for families to assume the bond is no longer needed after the ward passes away. However, the bond remains active, and payments are still required until the court reviews and approves the final accounting for the guardianship.

What You Need to Do

If you need to cancel or modify your probate bond:

1. Contact the court handling your case or consult your attorney for assistance.
2. Obtain a court order explicitly stating the bond should be canceled, increased, or reduced.
3. Send us a copy of the court order to process your request.

Without a court order, we cannot legally make any changes to your bond. This ensures compliance with the law and protects all parties involved.
