How is a Florida Surety Bond different than an insurance policy?
A Florida Surety Bond acts more like a co-signor than a regular insurance policy. If Court deems fiduciary duty was violated and payment due, the insurance company issuing probate bond will pay the court. However, unlike an insurance claim where insurance company indemnifies applicant, they will seek reimbursement for anything paid.

Why do I need an attorney for Florida Guardianship Bonds?
Probate and guardianship can be complicated. Guardians often turn to court personnel, social workers, insurance agents, or other non-lawyers for advice. However, only an probate or guardianship attorney can properly answer legal questions for your case. Sometimes laypeople assume expenses are owed by the ward, but for some reason they are not. Or a guardian might make decisions requiring Court approval. A private attorney is the only party qualified to offer legal guardian advice.
