Kay, Did you mean to type "bono" or "bond"? Whenever an Administrator is appointed to serve by the probate court, the order includes whether they are to serve with or without bond. If it's with bond, these bonds are usually corporate surety bonds. I just wonder if the "cor" is short for corporate and this phrase means Admistrator With Corporate Bond? A latin phrase that's often used is: pro bono, which usually refers to an attorney who is donating his services. Pro bono is short for pro bono publico which means "for the public good," I don't know if that would apply here because it doesn't say "pro", it says "de". Unless maybe the Cor stands for Coroner and the Coroner was appointed to serve as public administrator on some estates. Therefore, I would guess that "cor" is an abbreviation for either the word corporate or the word coroner. B.
