Conservator Bonds

Protecting the Most Vulnerable—With Bonds That Protect Everyone

When someone is appointed as a conservator—whether for a minor child, an incapacitated adult, or someone with special needs—the responsibility is immense. In Michigan, probate courts often require the conservator to secure a conservator bond (also known as a fiduciary bond) to protect the assets and well-being of the individual under their care.

A conservator bond provides financial protection in the event that the appointed conservator mismanages or misappropriates the ward's assets. It acts as a safeguard to ensure the conservator performs their duties honestly and competently. Whether required by the court or recommended by legal counsel, a conservator bond offers peace of mind for all parties involved.

At McNally Mason Agency, we specialize in fiduciary bonds—including conservator bonds—across the state of Michigan. We work exclusively with probate lawyers and fiduciaries, offering fast, expert bonding backed by legal insight and a deep understanding of probate court requirements.

You've Seen the Worst. Make Sure It Never Happens on Your Watch.

Many probate lawyers and family members are deeply familiar with the responsibilities and emotional risks of conservatorship cases. Some have seen firsthand the heartbreak that can result from financial abuse—a parent who drains a child’s settlement, a caregiver who exploits an elderly relative, or a guardian who simply isn't equipped for the task.

That’s why a conservator bond is more than just a legal requirement—it’s a proactive measure to protect the vulnerable and provide accountability for those in positions of power.

While many of our clients purchase conservator bonds through our agency because the court orders a bond, our more astute attorney clients often arrange for bonds even when a court does not order one. For example, if an attorney is handling a conservatorship for a layperson who is serving as a fiduciary for a ward or child, the attorney may advise or require the client to obtain a bond. This would provide protection for the attorney in the event the fiduciary mismanages the funds and the ward or child makes a claim against the attorney because the fiduciary has dissipated the funds and is no longer collectible, leaving the attorney subject to a claim.
