The Illinois Oath and Bond of Representative-Surety is a legal document that is used to guarantee that an individual or business will fulfill their obligations as a representative-surety. It ensures that an individual or business will act in good faith and with integrity in their dealings as a representative-surety. The document includes an oath that must be taken by the representative-surety, as well as a bond agreement between the representative-surety and the state of Illinois. The bond agreement sets out the terms of the agreement and the amount of the bond that must be paid in the event that the representative-surety does not fulfill their obligations. There are two types of Illinois Oath and Bond of Representative-Surety: a general bond and a fidelity bond. A general bond is a legal agreement that is used to protect the state from any potential losses as a result of an individual or business failing to fulfill their obligations as a representative-surety. A fidelity bond is a legal agreement that is used to protect the state from any potential losses as a result of fraudulent or dishonest activities conducted by an individual or business acting as a representative-surety.
