Built to get the writ moving.
A writ of replevin can issue quickly once the bond is filed, so the bond is usually the gating step. Here is the whole process:
Send us the file
Apply online with the petition, a description of the property, and its value. That value drives the penal sum the statute requires.
A surety specialist underwrites it
A specialist reviews the petition, your financials, and any collateral, then returns a quote. The penal sum is set by the statute 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 for the clerk to approve so the writ can issue.
What it is and who needs it.
Why replevin needs a double 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, Iowa requires the plaintiff to file a bond that protects the defendant if the seizure turns out to be wrong. That is why the penalty is at least twice the value of the property.
A defendant can file a delivery bond — likewise conditioned and approved by the clerk — to get the goods back pending judgment. Either way the amount tracks the property, so the surety underwrites the file and may require collateral on a large penal sum.
