Built to get possession moving.
In claim and delivery, the bond is usually the gating step before the court orders possession. Here is the whole process:
Send us the file
Apply online with the complaint, a description of the property, and its value. That value drives the penal sum the rule requires — twice the value stated in the complaint.
A surety specialist underwrites it
A specialist reviews the complaint, your financials, and any collateral, then returns a quote. The penal sum is set by the rule 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 (SCAO MC 38) with the power of attorney attached, ready to file so the court can order possession.
What it is and who needs it.
Why claim and delivery needs a double bond
Replevin — called claim and delivery in Michigan — lets you recover specific personal property (a vehicle, equipment, inventory) that someone is wrongfully holding, before the lawsuit ends.
Because the property changes hands before a judge decides who is right, MCR 3.105 requires the party seeking possession to post a bond that protects the other side if the seizure turns out to be wrong. That is why the penalty is twice the value of the property stated in the complaint.
The value stated in the complaint sets the bond amount, not the merits. Because the amount tracks the property, the surety underwrites the file and may require collateral on a large penal sum. We tell you what your file needs before you commit.
