Q: What does it mean when a beneficiary enters into bond payable to executor and attorney as Security
Attorney named was hired by beneficiary to file ‘motion order sustaining right to contest’
A: That is a Bond payable to the other side or parties for a Will Contest to commence. Not exactly sure of your factual situation, but it sounds like the beneficiary is contesting the Probate of a certain document proffered as a Will. The Probate Court must certify that there is a Will Contest, such that adversary proceedings began and the Probate of anything is put on hold.
