Surety bonds guides right now? Probate is defined as the process by which a will is proven. It is likely that if you are on this page, you may have recently learned that as a condition of being appointed an Representative or Trustee to an estate, a probate surety bond is required. While the probate process — and the related surety bond— typically refers to the estate of a decedent, in California, the following persons may also require a surety bond: Administrators; Guardians of minors; Guardian of someone incapacitated; Temporary guardian of minors; Veterans Affairs – Court appointed; Veterans Affairs – non-court appointed. All such classes of probate-related surety bonds are offered by our agency.

Registration services serve as a “release valve” for the DMV and the public alike. The public has an alternative to handle many matters done by the DMV without the attendant long lines; and the DMV has an additional source of revenue from registration services. DMV registration services cannot, however, process matters connected with a California (or out of state) driver license or ID card. Matters relating to these concerns are only handled by visiting a local DMV office. Find even more information at www.ameriprosuretybonds.com.
