Bond of conservator of estate of minor or disabled person
A conservator is someone chosen to manage money and property for a child or a person who cannot handle their own affairs. Before a conservator can start doing that job, they have to set up a bond — a kind of financial promise backed by a third party — that the court approves. The cost of that bond comes out of the estate, meaning the property being managed. The rules about bonds for personal representatives also apply to conservators, with a couple of small exceptions.
