The specialists behind Estate Bonds

Estate Bonds does one thing: it gets court-required estate, probate, and fiduciary bonds issued fast, across the United States and Canada. That focus is the whole point. A team that places these bonds every day knows the markets, the court requirements, and how to move a hard file, so your bond gets done while others are still reading the rules.

Questions

About Estate Bonds

Is Estate Bonds an insurance company or a broker?

Estate Bonds is a service of Ai Insurance Organization, a licensed insurance and surety brokerage. We place bonds through licensed surety markets in the United States and Canada; we do not underwrite them ourselves.

Who reviews the information on this site?

Dustin SanVido, Estates Program Lead at Ai Insurance Organization — an Associate Member of STEP Canada, a graduate of the NASBP William Engell Surety Schools Levels 2 and 3, and licensed across Canada and multiple US states. The content is general information reviewed by a licensed surety professional. It is not legal advice.

Where do you place estate bonds?

All fifty US states and every Canadian province except Quebec, which follows a separate civil-law system built around the liquidator rather than the executor or administrator.

Do I need a lawyer to get an estate bond?

No. Many of our files come directly from executors and administrators handling the estate themselves. Where a lawyer is already acting on the estate, we work alongside them and keep them in the loop.

A court deadline does not have to be a crisis

Tell us the bond you were ordered to post. We get it issued and filed, so the estate can move forward.
