How the Nevada Document Preparer Bond Works
The bond helps protect clients and other persons from covered financial harm arising from violations of Nevada's document preparation service laws, wrongful failure or refusal to provide contracted services, fraud, dishonesty, negligence, or other covered wrongful conduct. It may also secure certain unpaid civil penalties, attorney's fees, or costs owed to the Secretary of State.
The bond involves three parties:
- Principal: Registered Nevada document preparer / sole proprietor
- Obligee: Nevada Secretary of State / State of Nevada
- Surety: Bonding company
A claim against the bond may be brought for covered damages under Nevada law. The principal is responsible for reimbursing the surety for valid covered claims paid.
