Replevin — claim and delivery — lets you take back personal property a defendant is wrongfully holding.
Before the sheriff hands it over, you post a replevin bond protecting the defendant.
In Arkansas the bond is usually double the value of the property.
It is underwritten, not flat-rated — tell us the property’s value and we quote it.
















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