Lost Instrument Bond
About Lost Instrument Bonds
A lost Instrument bond or Lost Securities Bond is sometimes requested by banks and other entities when stock certificates, checks, certificates of deposit, mortgages, life insurance policies, or other securities documents are lost or stolen and the owner requests duplicates. The lost instrument bond guarantees that the owner of the lost document will indemnify the bank or other entity for any loss it suffers because of the duplicate securities or other instrument it issued.
Types of Lost Instrument Bonds
Fixed penalty lost instrument bonds – These are bonds which have a fixed amount. These are used in cases when the lost document has a fixed amount such as in the case of a cashier’s check.
Open penalty lost instrument bonds – These are bonds which have an open penalty. These are used in cases where the lost document has a value that can fluctuate depending on the health of the market such as in the case of stock certificates.
