KY writ of possession bonds.
Flat 3%. Enter your amount.
To recover personal property before judgment in Kentucky, a plaintiff must post a bond before the court issues a writ of possession under KRS 425.111. The court sets the amount at not less than twice the value of the property — we write it at a flat 3% with one soft credit pull.

What it is and who needs it.
What the writ of possession bond actually guarantees
A writ of possession lets a plaintiff recover specific personal property before final judgment in a Kentucky lawsuit — for example, to repossess collateral. Kentucky’s provisional-remedy statute requires the plaintiff to post a bond first, under KRS 425.111, so the defendant is protected if the seizure turns out to be wrongful.
The bond is executed by one or more sufficient sureties in an amount not less than twice the value of the property, as the judicial officer determines. It guarantees that if the defendant prevails, the plaintiff will return the property or pay for any loss caused by the seizure — and pay any damages and costs the court awards.
The defendant has a parallel right to post a redelivery bond under KRS 425.116 to keep or regain the property. This bond is not insurance for the plaintiff — if the surety pays a claim, the plaintiff repays the surety.
