Frequently asked

Common questions.

How is the Iowa Conservator Bond amount calculated?

Under Iowa Code 633.170, the bond amount must equal the value of the estate's personal property plus the estimated income to be generated during the conservatorship period. The court may reduce this amount by the value of personal property deposited with an Iowa bank or trust company. Since estate values vary significantly, bond amounts are calculated on a case-by-case basis by the district court.

Who is exempt from the Iowa Conservator Bond requirement?

Banks and trust companies appointed as conservators in Iowa are typically exempt from the bond requirement. Additionally, the court may waive the bond requirement for individual conservators if alternative financial security arrangements provide sufficient protection to the estate. However, the district court retains authority to require a bond at any point during the conservatorship if deemed necessary.

How long does the Iowa Conservator Bond remain in effect?

The Iowa Conservator Bond remains in effect for the entire duration of the conservatorship and requires annual renewal. Upon the conservator's final accounting and settlement with the court, the bond is released under Iowa Code 633.682. The bond protects the protected person's estate throughout the conservator's appointment.
