Built to get the property moving.
In a Delaware replevin action the bond is the gating step — it decides who holds the property while the case proceeds. Here is the whole process:
Send us the file
Apply online with the complaint or affidavit, a description of the property, and its value. That value drives the penal sum the court requires as a condition of the order.
A surety specialist underwrites it
A specialist reviews the file, your financials, and any collateral, then returns a quote. The penal sum is set by the court and the property value — underwriting decides approval and collateral.
Execute & file
Once you bind, we issue the executed bond on the court’s required form with the power of attorney attached, ready to give the court so the sheriff can deliver the property.
What it is and who needs it.
Why replevin needs a bond
Replevin (claim-and-delivery) lets you recover specific personal property — a vehicle, equipment, inventory — that someone is wrongfully holding, before the lawsuit ends.
Because the property changes hands before a judge decides who is right, Delaware requires the party seeking the order to post a bond that protects the other side if the order of replevin turns out to have been wrongly issued. The bond is measured against the value of the property the court orders delivered.
The amount is ultimately set by the court. Delaware historically required a bond in double the value of the property and has since framed the condition around the value of the goods and the sum demanded — so the surety underwrites the file and may require collateral on a large penal sum. We size and underwrite to whatever the order specifies.
