While each state is different, California generally requires your personal representative to be bonded. The only exceptions are when the testator's will expressly waives the requirement (and the court permits this to happen) or all the beneficiaries will agree in writing to waive the bond requirement.
Due to their individual requirements and processes, the length of time it takes to acquire a probate bond varies from company to company. However, many surety companies can bond a person within 24 hours or as quickly as within the same business day.
In some cases, beneficiaries may prefer an executor with no bond because they have less to lose if he or she improperly handles assets. An executor of a deceased person's estate without bond is a person who has the authority to fulfill the obligations of a deceased's will.
It protects the interests of estates and their heirs during the administration process. The executor or administrator pays for the bond at first, but can get reimbursed from the estate's assets.
And while some will tell you that you can't remain anonymous, the short answer is actually yes, you can. (But with one major consideration.) The Court is going to need a name and person to return the bond to once the court date has been successfully completed.
If the defendant cannot post bail, they will remain in custody, but they can also ask family or friends to help them. Alternatively, they may be able to engage a bail bond company to post the bail on their behalf. The court denies bail and the defendant remains in custody until their court hearing.
To post a property bond you must have your warranty deed, a current tax statement (showing the tax office fair market value and taxes must be current), a current mortgage statement (payments must be current), and all persons must be present whose names appear on the deed. All persons are required to have a picture ID.
Yes! In California, bonds can be posted twenty-four hours a day, seven days per week. But whether you can bail someone out of jail at any time depends on their situation.
