Cal. Rules of Court, rule 7.203 · Chapter 5. Bonding of Personal Representatives, Guardians, Conservators, and Trustees
Separate bonds for individuals
Verbatim from the official edition
Text — As posted by the Judicial Council of California (read October 22, 2026)
Because a corporate fiduciary (whether personal representative, guardian, conservator, or trustee) cannot assume responsibility for the acts of an individual cofiduciary, an individual cofiduciary who is required to give a bond must provide a separate bond, except to the extent that the court orders the assets to be held solely by the corporate cofiduciary.
