Terms to Know When It Comes to Georgia Personal Representative Bonds

What Is the Required Bond Amount?

Georgia Statute 53-6-50 dictates that the bond amount must be of sufficient size to cover the estate’s assets that the personal representative possesses or has decision-making authority over. Additionally, Georgia Statute 53-6-52 states that if the estate’s assets decrease, the court may reduce the bond amount in kind.

How Much Does a Georgia Personal Representative Bond Cost?

The bond cost depends entirely on the bond amount needed for the estate. The personal representative will pay is only a small fraction of that bond amount. 

To determine how much the bond will cost, personal representatives can follow the steps listed below:

  1. Determine the Required Bond Amount

The bond amount is based on the total amount of the estate, including any real estate, that the fiduciary has to oversee. The probate judge or county clerk will provide the bond amount needed to the administrator.

  1. Calculate the Total Cost

Administrator and executor bonds up to $17,000 cost $85 per year. For each additional $1,000 increase in the bond amount, the bond premium will increase by the corresponding amount outlined in the table below.

Bond AmountAdditional Premium (per $1,000)Bond Cost (1 year)
$0 - $17,000$85 flat rate$85
$17,001 - $50,000$5.00$85 - $250
$50,001 - $200,000$3.75$250 - $813
$200,001 - $500,000$2.50$813 - $1,563
$500,001 - $1,500,000$1.00$1,563 - $2,063
$1,500,000+$0.50$2,063+
Georgia Personal Representative Bond Cost Breakdown

As demonstrated in the table above, there is a tiered rate calculation for probate bonds. For example, a $50,000 Georgia personal representative bond costs $330 per year, while a $300,000 personal representative bond costs $1,465 per year. It is worth noting that the premium for the bond can generally be paid from the assets in the estate. Call us at (855) 470-0877 to find out how much your personal representative bond will cost.

Who Can Serve as Personal Representative in Georgia?

A person nominated in the will shall be granted priority to serve as the personal representative. If there is no will, then priority is granted to any person unanimously selected by all of the estate’s heirs unless the sole heir is the surviving spouse that was in the process of getting divorced or separated from the deceased individual. If no person is unanimously selected, the court shall grant priority in the following order:

What Are the Responsibilities of a Personal Representative?

What Is the Purpose of a Georgia Personal Representative Bond?

Due to the responsibilities listed in the prior section, Georgia requires personal representatives to purchase a surety bond as a prerequisite to being appointed as a fiduciary over an estate’s assets. The bond ensures that the estate’s beneficiaries and creditors will receive compensation for financial harm if the personal representative fails to abide by the regulations outlined in Georgia Statute 53-6-51. Specifically, the bond protects beneficiaries and creditors if the personal representative engages in fraud or mismanages the estate’s assets by violating their fiduciary duties.

Do All Estates in Georgia Require a Bond?

No, only personal representatives of intestate estates and temporary administrators must post a surety bond equal to the estate’s value. However, the bond requirement can be waived under the following circumstances:

How Does the Application Process Work With Jet?

Jet’s application process is unlike any other - our goal is to get the personal representative bonded as quickly as possible to allow them to focus on their fiduciary obligations. All we need is the bond amount and basic information about the estate. Our application allows the personal representatives to select where to send the bond.

APPLY FOR YOUR BOND

Here are some of the factors Jet considers when underwriting a personal representative bond:

How Do You File a Personal Representative Bond with the Court?

Jet (the Surety) and the personal representative must sign the original bond. Jet fills out the bond form,signs as the Surety, and sends the original bond to the representative to sign and file the completed bond with the probate court. Jet will also send the representative an electronic copy of their bond for reference.

How Do I Renew the Georgia Personal Representative Bond?

Jet will notify the personal representative well in advance of the renewal date to ensure timely renewal payment. If payment is not made, Jet will notify the attorney (when applicable) and the court. If an attorney is involved, they may decide to pay the renewal bond premium, but the fiduciary must reimburse them. If there is an attorney, the court will set a hearing upon being notified of the failure to maintain the bond.

How Long Do You Need the Bond?

The court will release the bond once the personal representative has paid all debts, distributed all assets, provided a final accounting that the court has approved. If the estate settlement extends beyond a year, an annual accounting must be submitted to the court. After obtaining the release, the personal representative simply needs to email a copy of the release to probate@jetsurety.com so that we can cancel the bond and issue any applicable refund due back to the personal representative.

What Actions of a Personal Representative Can Lead to Surety Bond Claims?

Personal representatives have a critical role in the settlement of an estate and are relied on by the heirs, creditors, and the circuit court to fulfill these obligations. Complaints regarding failure to uphold duties may arise from the heirs and creditors if they feel settlement is not being handled properly. Being diligent about keeping receipts and records of all transactions as the personal representative is essential.

Some examples of potential actions that could cause a claim:

What Happens if a Claim Is Filed on the Probate Bond?

Upon receiving court notice of a claim on the bond, Jet has 30 days to pay the claim or ask for an additional time to review it. Jet works tirelessly to protect personal representatives against faulty claims, which means that even if the court has requested a bond payout, we assess all documentation provided by the court and the personal representative prior to paying out the claim. However, if a claim is valid and Jet pays the claimant, the personal representative must pay Jet back as the representative is ultimately liable for their own actions.
