Federal Master / Referee / Receiver / Trustee Equity Bond
Overview
Appointed by a federal court to manage assets, property, or funds on behalf of others? You need a Federal Master / Referee / Receiver / Trustee Equity Bond before you can act. This bond guarantees that you will faithfully perform your court-appointed duties and account for every dollar under your control. It protects the parties in the case — creditors, beneficiaries, or litigants — from loss caused by mismanagement, negligence, or misconduct.
Who Needs This Bond?
A federal court just appointed you as a master, referee, receiver, or trustee in an equity proceeding — and the order requires this bond before you can take control. Receivers managing business assets during litigation, trustees overseeing equity distributions, and referees or special masters handling court-directed financial duties all fall under this requirement. If your appointment order specifically calls for an equity bond, this is the bond you need. It is a federal-level obligation tied directly to your role in the case.
What is this Bond For?
Courts require this bond to hold appointed fiduciaries financially accountable for their stewardship of assets under federal jurisdiction. As the principal, you are bound to manage, preserve, and report on assets exactly as the court directs. If you fail — through fraud, misappropriation, negligence, or breach of fiduciary duty — the bond provides a financial remedy to injured parties. The obligee is the federal court overseeing your appointment, and the bond remains active for the duration of your service.
When is it Required?
Before you take possession of any assets, sign any documents, or exercise any authority granted by the court, this bond must be executed and filed. Federal courts will not allow a receiver, trustee, referee, or master to begin acting in an equity capacity until the bond requirement in the appointment order is satisfied. Delays in securing the bond delay the entire proceeding. Get it done immediately after your appointment is issued.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond operates under federal jurisdiction and is required by the United States federal court system — not by any individual state. It applies nationwide, wherever a federal court has issued an equity appointment order. The specific case, district, and appointment terms govern the bond's conditions and required amount.
