When a Trustee for a minor's Trust Fund is appointed by the court and asked to post a bond what does this really mean? Where does the money come from and what happens to it? Thank you.

A bond is an insurance policy in case of mis-management or theft. The money is gone once it is purchased, but the assurance remains. As for cost, you'll have to ask the judge who is to pay for it.
