Recently enacted changes to Florida’s Probate Code effective July 1, 2026, alter the bond and court-reporting requirements due to the curator law. Now, a curator must post a reasonable bond unless the court determines that the bond requirement must be waived. The amount of the bond is set by the court based on responsibilities of the curator and circumstances of the estate. This bond requirement does not include banks and trust companies appointed as curators.
