Built for the post-judgment clock.
Execution can begin shortly after a money judgment is entered, so the supersedeas bond has to come together quickly. Here is the whole process:
Send us the file
Apply online and attach the final judgment and notice of appeal. We need the judgment amount, the parties, and the district court, so we can size the penal sum the rule requires.
A surety specialist underwrites it
A specialist reviews the judgment, your financials, and any collateral, then returns a quote. Larger penal sums are typically collateralized — cash, a letter of credit, or pledged assets.
Execute & file
Once you bind, we issue the executed bond on the court’s required form with the power of attorney attached, ready to submit for the district court’s approval and stay execution.
What it is and who needs it.
What a supersedeas bond actually does
An appeal does not, by itself, stop the winning party from collecting. A supersedeas bond (also called an appeal bond) is the security that buys you a stay — execution is held while the Montana Supreme Court decides.
The bond guarantees that if your appeal fails, the judgment, costs, interest, and damages for delay get paid. That is why the penal sum tracks the judgment rather than a flat figure, and why the surety underwrites you before issuing it.
Because the surety is on the hook for the full judgment, a large penal sum is usually collateralized — with cash, a letter of credit, or pledged assets — and supported by financials. We tell you what a given file needs before you commit.
