How it works

Built for the post-judgment clock.

Execution can begin shortly after a money judgment is entered, so the supersedeas bond has to come together quickly. Here is the whole process:

TODAY · 10 MINUTES

Send us the file

Apply online and attach the final judgment and notice of appeal. We need the judgment amount, the parties, and the court, so we can size the penal sum the statute requires.

WITHIN 1 BUSINESS DAY

A surety specialist underwrites it

A specialist reviews the judgment, your financials, and any collateral, then returns a quote. Larger penal sums are typically collateralized — cash, a letter of credit, or pledged assets.

ON APPROVAL

Execute & file

Once you bind, we issue the executed bond on the court’s required form with the power of attorney attached, ready to present to the district court for approval so the stay takes effect.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What a supersedeas bond actually does

An appeal does not, by itself, stop the winning party from collecting. A supersedeas bond (also called an appeal bond) is the security that buys you a stay — execution is held while the appellate court decides.

The bond guarantees that if your appeal fails, the judgment, interest, and costs get paid. That is why the penal sum tracks the judgment rather than a flat figure, and why the surety underwrites you before issuing it.

Because the surety is on the hook for the full judgment, a large penal sum 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.

Kansas StatuteK.S.A. 60-2103(d) governs supersedeas bonds and stays on appeal. An appellant seeking a stay presents a supersedeas bond to the district court for approval, with such surety as the court requires; the bond is set at the full amount of the judgment. If the appellant proves by a preponderance of the evidence that the full amount would result in undue hardship or a denial of the right to appeal, the court may reduce the bond — for a judgment over $1,000,000, to $1,000,000 plus 25% of the amount in excess of $1,000,000. Where the judgment concerns the disposition or custody of property, the bond is set only at the sum needed to secure the use, detention, costs, interest, and damages for delay.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

What is a Kansas appeal or supersedeas bond? +
It is the security that stays execution of a judgment while you appeal. Under K.S.A. 60-2103(d), presenting an approved supersedeas bond to the district court holds collection on a money judgment until the appeal is decided. The bond guarantees the judgment, interest, and costs are paid if the appeal fails.
How much does it cost? +
It is underwritten, not flat-rated. The statute sets the penal sum — the full amount of the judgment under K.S.A. 60-2103(d), subject to a cap on judgments over $1,000,000 if you prove undue hardship. A surety specialist reviews the file and the collateral and returns a premium quote, usually within one business day.
Will I need to post collateral? +
Often, yes, especially for a large penal sum. Because the surety guarantees the full judgment, the bond is frequently collateralized with cash, a letter of credit, or pledged assets, and supported by financials. We tell you what your specific file requires before you commit.
How is the penal sum calculated? +
Under K.S.A. 60-2103(d), the supersedeas bond is set at the full amount of the judgment. If you prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the full amount would cause undue hardship or deny the right to appeal, the court may cap a judgment over $1,000,000 at $1,000,000 plus 25% of the excess. Property-disposition judgments are bonded only at the sum needed to secure use, detention, costs, interest, and delay.
How fast can the bond be issued? +
A specialist typically returns a quote within one business day of a complete application. Once you bind and any collateral is in place, the executed bond issues on the court’s required form, ready to present to the district court for approval to stay execution.
