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 sworn value of the property, the parties, and the court. The undertaking 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 property can be replevied and returned to you pending the trover action.

What it is and who needs it.

How claim-and-delivery works in Georgia

Georgia handles the recovery of wrongfully held personal property through trover, which embraces the old common-law actions of trover, replevin, and detinue. To get the property back before the case is over, the plaintiff gives “bail” to replevy it.

You file an affidavit describing the property and stating its value and your right to immediate possession, and post the bond. The plaintiff’s replevy bond is conditioned to produce the property to answer the judgment — or to pay the eventual condemnation money.

Because you are taking the property before anyone has decided the case, the undertaking is customarily set at double the sworn value of the property, to protect the defendant for its return and for damages if you were not entitled to possession.

Georgia StatuteO.C.G.A. § 44-12-151 et seq. (Trover; Bail in Trover Proceedings) governs the affidavit, the replevy, and the bond by which a party recovers personal property pending suit. The replevy undertaking is customarily set in double the value of the property, conditioned to deliver the property or pay the eventual condemnation money; O.C.G.A. § 44-12-171 separately lets the defendant recover the property or its sworn value when the plaintiff had replevied it.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

What is a Georgia replevin bond? +
It is the bond a plaintiff posts to recover personal property before judgment in a trover / claim-and-delivery action under O.C.G.A. § 44-12-151 et seq. (bail in trover). It protects the defendant by guaranteeing the property’s return — or payment of the eventual condemnation money — if the plaintiff turns out not to be entitled to possession.
How much is the bond? +
In Georgia the replevy undertaking is customarily set in double the sworn value of the property being recovered. The value you state in your affidavit drives the penal sum.
How much does it cost? +
There is no flat rate. The bond is underwritten individually: premium depends on the penal sum (typically double the property value), the underwriting, and any collateral. Tell us the value and a specialist returns a quote, usually within one business day.
Will collateral be required? +
It can be, especially when the property is high in value and the penal sum is large. We tell you whether collateral applies when we quote, not after you commit.
How fast can I get it? +
A specialist typically responds within one business day of a complete submission, and we issue promptly on approval so the property can be replevied.
