How it works

Built for the post-judgment clock.

Execution can begin shortly after a money judgment is entered, so the supersedeas bond has to come together quickly. Here is the whole process:

TODAY · 10 MINUTES

Send us the file

Apply online and attach the final judgment and notice of appeal. We need the judgment amount, the parties, and the court, so we can size the penal sum the rule requires.

WITHIN 1 BUSINESS DAY

A surety specialist underwrites it

A specialist reviews the judgment, your financials, and any collateral, then returns a quote. Larger penal sums are typically collateralized — cash, a letter of credit, or pledged assets.

ON APPROVAL

Execute & file

Once you bind, we issue the executed bond on the court’s required form with the power of attorney attached, ready to file with the trial court for approval so the stay takes effect.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What a supersedeas bond actually does

An appeal does not, by itself, stop the winning party from collecting. A supersedeas bond (also called an appeal bond) is the security that buys you a stay — execution is held while the appellate court decides.

The bond guarantees that if your appeal fails, the judgment, interest, and costs get paid. That is why the penal sum tracks the judgment rather than a flat figure, and why the surety underwrites you before issuing it.

Because the surety is on the hook for the full judgment, a large penal sum is usually collateralized — with cash, a letter of credit, or pledged assets — and supported by financials. We tell you what a given file needs before you commit.

Alaska RuleAlaska R. App. P. 204 governs supersedeas bonds and stays pending appeal. The bond must be no less than 125% of the trial court or agency judgment — including prejudgment interest, costs, and attorney’s fees — except that the court may set a different amount on motion of a party. The bond is conditioned for satisfaction of the judgment in full, with costs and interest, if the appeal is dismissed or the judgment affirmed.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

What is an Alaska appeal or supersedeas bond? +
It is the security that stays execution of a judgment while you appeal. Under Alaska R. App. P. 204, filing and getting approval of a supersedeas bond holds collection on a money judgment until the supreme court rules. The bond guarantees the judgment, interest, and costs are paid if the appeal fails.
How much does it cost? +
It is underwritten, not flat-rated. The rule sets the penal sum — generally at least 125% of the judgment, including interest, costs, and attorney’s fees, under Alaska R. App. P. 204(d). A surety specialist reviews the file and the collateral and returns a premium quote, usually within one business day.
Will I need to post collateral? +
Often, yes, especially for a large penal sum. Because the surety guarantees the full judgment, the bond is frequently collateralized with cash, a letter of credit, or pledged assets, and supported by financials. We tell you what your specific file requires before you commit.
How is the penal sum calculated? +
Under Alaska R. App. P. 204(d), the supersedeas bond must be no less than 125% of the trial court or agency judgment, including prejudgment interest, costs, and attorney’s fees. The court may set a different amount on motion of any party to the appeal.
How fast can the bond be issued? +
A specialist typically returns a quote within one business day of a complete application. Once you bind and any collateral is in place, the executed bond issues on the court’s required form, ready to file with the trial court for approval to stay execution.
