Lost instrument bonds act as a legal contract between three parties: The principal is the individual purchasing the bond who lost the financial certificate. The obligee is the financial institution that issued the original instrument. The surety is the provider issuing the bond and backing the principal.
A fairly typical cost guideline is $20 for every $1,000 of value of the lost instrument. If a promissory note for $50,000 were lost, you would probably have to pay in the neighborhood of $1,000 to the surety company to purchase a bond covering the amount of the certificate.
To give you an example, if youre trying to replace a $10,000 cashiers check, then you designate on the lost instrument bond form that you need a bond for $10,000. If a claim was ever filed against the bond (because someone cashed the original check), then the surety company would pay out exactly $10,000.
