Louisiana appeal bonds.
Stop the clock on a judgment.
A suspensive appeal bond stays execution of a money judgment while you take it up.
Under Louisiana law the security is the judgment plus interest to date, exclusive of costs.
These are underwritten, not flat-rated — the court fixes the amount and we quote the premium.
Apply online and a surety specialist returns a quote, usually within one business day.

Built for the appeal deadline.
You have a short window after judgment to perfect a suspensive appeal and post security. Here's the entire process — no broker phone tag:
Tell us about the matter
The application captures the basics — the court, the docket or succession number, the penal sum the court (or the estate) has set, and who the principal is. Send the order, judgment, or inventory if you have it; if not, we ask for it once.
A specialist underwrites it
Court and fiduciary bonds are individually underwritten. A surety specialist reviews the penal sum, the fiduciary, and the file, runs a soft credit check, and returns a quote — usually within one business day. Larger penal sums may call for financials or collateral.
Execute & file
Approve the quote, post any collateral required, and we issue the executed bond on the court's required form with the power of attorney attached. File it with the clerk so the order, appeal, or appointment can take effect.
What it is and who needs it.
How a suspensive appeal bond works
In Louisiana, taking a suspensive appeal stops the winning party from executing on a money judgment while the appeal is pending — but only if you post security within the legal delay.
The bond promises that if your appeal fails, the judgment will be paid or satisfied from the sale of your property, and that otherwise the surety is liable for the amount of the judgment. That is why the carrier underwrites it and may ask for collateral.
A devolutive appeal, by contrast, doesn't stop execution and generally needs no bond. If you simply want the appeal heard without halting collection, you may not need security at all — tell us the goal and we'll point you the right way.
