VA Bonds are bonds that are ordered by the Department of Veterans Affairs. The VA will appoint a Guardian/Fiduciary to act in the best interest of the Veterans health and assets.
This is similar to Guardianship Bonds, but it is not the same. VA Bonds, unlike Guardianship Bonds, are obligated to fulfill the bond with Department of Veterans Affairs; meanwhile, Guardianship Bonds are obligated to be fulfilled with the Governor of the issued state.
VA Bonds are not court appointed, but the Guardian may have an attorney to represent them, during the duration of the bond.

Bond cancellations vary based on bond type and bond amount. Most commonly, an order of discharge from the court or documentation that states that the Personal Representative or Fiduciary is released from Liability and/or a surety bond is no longer required, is needed to cancel a bond.
To close or cancel a bond, we must receive appropriate documentation confirming that the Fiduciary’s and/or Personal Representatives responsibilities have concluded.
Please review the requirements outlined on bond cancellation requirements.
Please note, if you need a bond canceled, but the information you have does not match any of the criteria below, please reach out to one of our Licensed Professionals to discuss further if your bond can be cancelled. bonds@probatebondpros.com
