How Does a Legal Document Assistant Bond Work?
A California legal document assistant bond creates a legal contract between these three parties:
- Principal: You, the legal document assistant(s) filing the bond
- Obligee: The County Clerk's Office requiring the bond
- Surety: The provider issuing the bond
This holds you financially responsible for operating honestly and ethically.
If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you must ultimately refund the surety.
How Do I Renew My Bond?
These bonds expire after two years. To renew your legal document assistant bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted.
We’ll guide you through any additional paperwork or documentation required to extend your bond for another two-year term.
