What is a probate bond in Florida?
The probate bond is an executorial bond of probate courts. Florida State Court Bonds are issued for an executor or administrator’s estate. The bond is intended as protection against damage to the assets or creditors from criminal neglect and malfeasance of the executors. In Florida, a probate bond is required by Florida statute 733.402 for probate administrators, executors, conservators, and guardians.
Most of the time, wills drafted will waive bond requirements; however, sometimes, that waiver does not exist. The Court may waive the bond requirement, require a bond, increase or decrease it, or require additional surety at their discretion. So to answer the question of whether a probate bond is required in Florida, it depends upon the Court’s decision.
Also, people who have been ruled incapacitated and or are minors will have guardians (private or professional) to manage the assets of their wards.

So it is almost like a credit line.
