While most surety bonding professionals have come into contact with Court Bonds or Notary Bonds, some may not understand why these bonds are required, and who they protect. This Virtual Seminar, presented by Jeff Frank and Omar Harb of Alber Frank, PC, will highlight the procedures for obtaining and filing these bonds. The presenters will also discuss the differences in the various Court Bonds and some underwriting and claims considerations. Finally, the presenters will provide an overview of the Notary Bond process – from the issuance of the bonds to claims procedures, including a discussion of what parties have standing to pursue claims on notary bonds and the duties of a notary.
