Joint Control

[Gregory]

I have to apply for a Guardianship Bond and the lawyer has recommended for a Joint Control Agreement. What does the Joint Control means and when it is required?

Joint Control Guardianship bond means an agreement that the attorney will oversee you actions as guardian to ensure it is done properly. However, if a claim arises, no action would be taken against the attorney, as it is more of a good faith agreement than a guarantee.

Joint-control agreements are often required for applicants that do not qualify for the bond otherwise. It is a great way to get your money's worth from your attorney, as you would likely not be approved without it.
