Surety Product
Surety Product Coverage that Pays Your Obligation to a Third Party
Bonds – Individuals may sometimes need a bond. For example, a trustee of an estate or a state may require a specific type of license or permit bond. This type of coverage pays your obligation to a third party if you default on what you promised to do. Because there are three parties – you (the principal), the firm receiving the promise (the obligee) and the firm backing the promise (the surety) – it is considered a surety product rather than an insurance policy. Insurance policies are between two parties, the insured and the insurance company.
