What is a California Legal Document Assistant Surety Bond?
If you are a legal document assistant in California, you need to have a surety bond in order to operate legally. A California legal document assistant surety bond is a type of insurance that protects your clients in case you fail to provide the services you promised or if you engage in fraudulent activities. As with any surety bond, the CA Legal Document Assistant Bond is a guarantee that the licensed LDA will comply with the laws as laid out in the California Business and Professions Code § 6400, 6402 & 6408. If an LDA fails to comply and causes financial harm to on of their client(s), the surety bond is there to provide financial remuneration through the bond claim process.
- The LDA bond must be filed in the county where you prepare and file legal documents.
- The effective date of your bond should be made for the date you have an appointment with your county clerk to file your LDA paperwork and bond for new bonds, renewals should match your existing registration date.
- The bond must be in the name the LDA is applying to become licensed and will run for a term of 2 years as required by the state.
