The court sets the bond amount based on the total value of the incapacitated person's estate under the conservator's control, plus the estimated income from that estate over the next year. The court may reduce this amount if certain assets are restricted (such as those requiring court approval to withdraw or sell) or deemed low-risk. Each case is determined individually by the trial court.
The bond may be waived if the court determines it's unnecessary to protect the estate, or if the conservator is a bank or trust company regulated under IC 28-1-1-3. Additionally, alternatives like pledged securities or a land mortgage may substitute for the bond if approved by the court. The decision is made on a case-by-case basis by the trial court.
If a conservator mismanages the estate or breaches their fiduciary duties, the protected person, their heirs, or the court can file a claim against the conservator bond. The surety company investigates the claim and compensates valid losses up to the bond amount. The surety then seeks reimbursement from the conservator who caused the financial harm.
