Prepaid legal services special deposit bonds are subject to underwriting consideration. Because the required amount and, therefore, the price of these bonds can vary so much, our experts recommend submitting a bond request to receive your free, no-obligation bond quote.
Why do I need this bond?
Special deposit bonds for prepaid legal services in South Carolina are required by Section 37-16-20 of the Code of Laws of South Carolina. By posting this bond, principals (prepaid legal service providers) pledge to conduct business according to this code and provide all services as contracted. If the principal fails to conduct business in accordance with the laws of the state and the terms of the surety bond contract, the bond protects the state and consumers from financial loss up to the full penal sum of the bond ($50,000).
