Court bonds are required in many court proceedings to ensure that one is protected from possible loss as a result of the outcome of the proceeding.

Several types of lawsuits require a court to take some action before a final ruling is made, and these bonds help return the party being sued back to the position it was in before the court case started if the court determines it did nothing wrong.

Probate bond are designed to provide protection to the heirs of an estate against misrepresentation, fraudulent acts, errors, negligence and theft by the executor of the estate. 

Generally, it ensures that the executor of an estate will distribute property and assets in accordance with the wishes of someone's will, or, in the event that there is not a will, in accordance with local law. 

Typically, Probate bonds must be for a specific amount. In the event that an executor is required to post a bond pursuant to a last will and testament, the will may indicate the amount. In the event the will does not indicate an amount, the court will specify the amount of the bond. This amount varies by the particular jurisdiction and the particular judge setting the amount.

A surety bond is a promise to pay one party (the obligee) a certain amount if a second party (the principal) fails to meet some obligation, such as fulfilling the terms of a contract. The surety bond protects the obligee against losses resulting from the principal's failure to meet the obligation.

Contract bonds, used heavily in the construction industry, are a guarantee from a Surety to a project's owner (Obligee) that a general contractor (Principal) will adhere to the provisions of a contract.

Included in this category are: bid bonds (guarantee that a contractor will enter into a contract if awarded the bid), performance bonds (guarantee that a contractor will perform the work as specified by the contract), payment bonds (guarantee that a contractor will pay for services and materials), and maintenance bonds (guarantee that a contractor will provide facility repair and upkeep for a specified period of time). There are also miscellaneous contract bonds that do not fall within the categories above, the most common of which are subdivision and supply bonds.

ERISA (Employee Retirement Income Security Act) is a federal law that was enacted in 1974 designed to establish minimum standards for plan administrators and investment advisers to protect employee pension and health plans in the private sector.

ERISA bond’s ensure that the pension or health fund can recover from losses associated with fraudulent or dishonest acts committed by the administrator.

The bond amount is determined by the plan and the plan official. A plan official must be bonded for at least 10% of the funds he or she handles, with a minimum bond amount of $1,000, according to the Department of Labor.

ERISA bonds provide some degree of protection against fraud and can also help protect their holders if they inadvertently break ERISA rules.
