GA remainderman bonds.
From $100.
When a Georgia life tenant needs to sell, encumber, or use the corpus of property in a way that could harm the people entitled to it afterward, a court may require a bond to protect the remainder interest. Pricing is 1.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — one soft credit pull for approval, never affecting your score, and your exact price appears at the application.

What it is and who needs it.
What the remainderman bond actually protects
Under Georgia life-estate law (O.C.G.A. Title 44, Chapter 6), a life tenant holds the present right to use property for life, and the remaindermen own the interest that takes effect when the life estate ends. The life tenant owes the remaindermen a duty of ordinary care to preserve the property and commit no act causing permanent injury to their interest.
When a life tenant wants to sell, encumber, or consume the corpus — or otherwise act in a way that could diminish what the remaindermen receive — a court may condition that action on a surety bond protecting the remainder interest. The bond stands behind the value owed to the remaindermen if the life tenant's actions cause them loss.
Because the amount and the exact condition come from the court's order, there is no single statutory figure — enter the amount the court set. Pricing is 1.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, with one soft credit pull for approval that never shows as a hard inquiry.
