Built to get the writ moving.
A writ of replevin can issue once the court approves the bond, so the bond is usually the gating step. Here is the whole process:
Send us the file
Apply online with the complaint or show-cause order, a description of the property, and its value. That value drives the penal sum the court requires.
A surety specialist underwrites it
A specialist reviews the file, your financials, and any collateral, then returns a quote. The penal sum is set by the court 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 to post so the sheriff or constable can serve the writ.
What it is and who needs it.
Why replevin needs a bond
Replevin (claim-and-delivery) lets you recover specific personal property — a vehicle, equipment, inventory — that someone is wrongfully holding, before the lawsuit ends. In Maryland, replevin is filed in the District Court.
Because the property changes hands before a judge decides who is right, the court requires the plaintiff to post a bond that protects the defendant if the seizure turns out to be wrong. At common law that bond was double the value of the property; today the court fixes the amount.
The bond is conditioned to prosecute the action and to return the property or pay its value if return is adjudged. Because the amount tracks the property, the surety underwrites the file and may require collateral on a large penal sum.
