How it works

Built to get the property back fast.

The sheriff won’t deliver the property until the bond is posted. Here is the whole process:

TODAY · 10 MINUTES

Tell us the property

Send a description and the actual value of the property, the parties, and the court. The penal sum is usually double that value, so the value drives both the bond amount and the quote.

ABOUT 1 BUSINESS DAY

A specialist underwrites & quotes

A surety specialist reviews the matter and returns a quote with any collateral requirement. Higher-value property means a larger penal sum, which may be collateralized — we tell you up front.

ON APPROVAL

Execute & file

We issue the bond on the form your court accepts, with the surety’s power of attorney attached, so the order of delivery can be carried out and the property returned to you.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

How claim-and-delivery works

Replevin — Arkansas calls it the recovery of personal property, or claim and delivery — is the remedy you use when someone is wrongfully holding property that is yours and you want it back before the lawsuit ends.

To get an order of delivery, you file an affidavit describing the property and stating its actual value, your right to immediate possession, and that it is wrongfully detained. The clerk then orders the sheriff to take it.

Because you are getting the property before anyone has decided the case, you post a replevin bond — generally in double the value of the property — to protect the defendant for its return and for damages if it turns out you were not entitled to it.

Arkansas StatuteArk. Code Ann. § 18-60-810 et seq. (recovery of personal property and replevin) governs the affidavit, the order of delivery, and the bond. The undertaking is customarily set in double the value of the property, conditioned on its return and on payment of damages if the plaintiff is not entitled to possession.

You need this bond if you’re

A secured lender or lessor repossessing equipment, vehicles, or collateral through the court
A business recovering inventory, machinery, or goods a customer or partner is wrongfully holding
An owner reclaiming personal property that someone refuses to return
Counsel filing a claim-and-delivery action and needing the bond before the sheriff acts

Start with the property and its value.

These are the actual underwriting fields — the property, its value, the parties, and your business. Submit once and a surety specialist responds in about one business day with a quote and any collateral requirement. No charge until the bond is issued.
