Indiana replevin bonds.
Quote on review.
Recover personal property that’s being wrongfully held — before the case is decided. Indiana’s replevin process requires a bond in an amount the court fixes, not less than the value of the property. The penal sum tracks the goods, so we underwrite it rather than flat-rate it. A surety specialist reviews your file and returns a quote, usually within one business day.

Built to get the property moving.
In an Indiana replevin action the bond is the gating step — the court won’t order prejudgment possession until it’s filed. 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 statute requires — fixed by the court, not less than the value of the goods.
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 order of possession can issue.
What it is and who needs it.
Why replevin needs a bond
Replevin (Indiana’s claim-and-delivery action) 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, Indiana requires the party who takes the property to post a bond that protects the other side if the seizure turns out wrong. That is why the penal sum is fixed to the value of the goods.
Unlike some states’ double-value rule, Indiana fixes the bond at an amount the court determines that may not be less than the value of the property. Either way the amount tracks the property, so the surety underwrites the file and may require collateral on a large penal sum.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A court bond answers to the court and the party its order protects: if the judgment or order the bond secures is not satisfied, that party can claim against it, up to the penal sum the court set.
The surety pays a valid claim after the court rules, and you repay the surety. A court bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
Term and renewal are set in the underwriter's quote; a court bond usually runs until the case or appeal it secures is resolved.
Keep the bond in force for as long as the obligation behind it runs.
How to file it
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 order of possession can issue.
What sets the price
Court bonds are underwritten: the premium is quoted from the bond amount the court sets and your financial picture, so there is no flat price to show.
