Built to get the property back.
In Connecticut the replevin writ cannot issue until the recognizance is in place, and the statute fixes it at double the sworn value of the goods. Here is the whole process:
Send us the file
Apply online and tell us the goods, their sworn value, and the parties. We size the bond to double that value as C.G.S. §52-518 requires.
A surety specialist underwrites it
A specialist reviews the matter, your financials, and any collateral, then returns a quote. Higher-value bonds are typically collateralized — cash, a letter of credit, or pledged assets.
Execute & file
Once you bind, we issue the executed recognizance on the form the court requires with the power of attorney attached, ready to file so the writ of replevin can issue.
What it is and who needs it.
Why the bond is double the value
Replevin (claim-and-delivery) lets you recover specific personal property someone is wrongfully holding — but you take the goods before the court has decided who is right. Connecticut balances that with security.
The replevin bond protects the defendant: if you turn out not to be entitled to the property, it guarantees its return and pays any damages. C.G.S. §52-518 sets it at at least double the sworn value of the goods so there is real money behind that promise — which is why the penal sum tracks the value rather than a flat figure.
Because the surety stands behind the return and the damages, a high-value bond 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.
