When property is at risk of being moved, sold, or hidden, a writ of sequestration lets you secure it — but the clerk needs the bond first. Here's the entire process:
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.
Replevin, Louisiana-style: sequestration
Most states call it replevin or claim-and-delivery — a way to recover personal property someone is wrongfully holding. Louisiana, with its civil-law roots, reaches the same result through a writ of sequestration.
The writ lets the court take custody of disputed movable property — equipment, vehicles, inventory, collateral — so it can’t be moved, sold, or damaged before the case is decided. Because seizing someone’s property on the front end is drastic, the applicant must post security.
The court fixes that security to protect the defendant against any damage from a wrongful seizure; in practice it is commonly tied to the value of the property and is often set at roughly double it. Send us a description and value and we'll size the bond to what the court requires.
