A: Without more information it may not be possible to answer your question. If you are referring to a fiduciary bond that may be required of the Trustee to protect trust assets, that is typically renewed annually. If you are referring to a bond held in the trust, then it depends on the type of bond, and on the specific language of the trust itself. A trust can exist after the death of the grantor that created the trust. How long it lasts depends upon the specific language of the trust. This is a general answer and may not apply to your specific circumstances.
