When property is wrongfully withheld, time matters. In these situations, plaintiffs may seek a replevin bond—also known as a claim and delivery bond or sequestration bond—to recover possession of that property before the court’s final judgment. Jurisco’s nationwide surety team helps clients secure replevin bonds quickly and accurately, ensuring court requirements are met so legal proceedings can move forward without delay.
A replevin bond is a plaintiff’s surety bond required by courts when a plaintiff seeks to take possession of property currently held by the defendant. By posting the bond, the plaintiff guarantees that if the court later rules in favor of the defendant, the property (or its value) and any damages will be returned or paid.
In short, the bond protects the defendant from loss while allowing the plaintiff to recover property sooner rather than waiting for the final verdict.
Replevin bonds are most often used in cases involving:
Each state has its own statutes outlining when and how a replevin bond must be filed. Because requirements vary, Jurisco’s experienced staff ensures that each bond aligns with state law and specific court mandates.
Courts typically require a replevin bond whenever property ownership is contested and immediate possession is sought. For example, if a business finances equipment and the lessee defaults, the lessor may file a replevin action to recover that equipment. Before the sheriff or court officer can seize the property, the plaintiff must post a bond—guaranteeing they’ll return the property or pay damages if the court later rules against them.
The bond amount is usually set by the court and may equal the current market value of the property, or sometimes double that value, depending on state law. This ensures full coverage for potential damages, depreciation, or loss of use.
Jurisco determines the replevin bond premium based on the total bond amount and the applicant’s financial profile. Rates generally range between 2% and 5% of the total bond amount. Applicants with strong credit may qualify for lower rates, and Jurisco works closely with each client to find the most favorable terms possible.
