What is a Missing Beneficiary Bond?
In lieu of getting a will probated, which can be costly, financial institutions, transfer agents, etc. may ask the Executor of the estate to post a Waiver of Probate Bond.
The Waiver of Probate Bond enables the financial institution to re-issue bonds; stocks, etc. to the name of the estate executor so that the estate can be liquidated and distributed amongst the estate heirs.
The bond protects the financial institution/transfer agent in the event that a legitimate claimant comes forth to make a claim against the stock owned by the deceased.
How to apply for a Waiver of Probate Bond
To apply for a Waiver of Probate Bond you will need to provide the following documents:
- Completed Bond Application Form
- Copy of will (if applicable)
- Copy of Geneology
- Summary of heir tracer findings
Contact us to learn more about the prices and application process for the bond.
