Lost Instrument Bond

A surety bond issued to a Colorado public trustee by an insurance company as a substitute for a lost original promissory note. Colorado law provides that the release form submitted to a public trustee to discharge the lien of a deed of trust must be accompanied by the original promissory note secured thereby. Certain qualifying entities (lending institutions) may indemnify the public trustee in lieu of presenting an original note.
