How it works

Built for the 30-day appeal clock.

Nebraska gives an appellant 30 days from entry of judgment to perfect a supersedeas. Here is how the bond side of that works:

TODAY · 10 MINUTES

Apply and send the judgment

Tell us the case, the court, and the amount of the judgment. Attach the order so we can confirm the penal sum tracks the judgment plus interest and costs.

WITHIN 1 BUSINESS DAY

A specialist underwrites and quotes

A surety underwriter reviews the judgment, your financials, and any collateral needs. The penal sum is fixed by the court; underwriting sets the premium and the security.

ON BINDING

Execute and file

Post any required collateral, sign, and receive the executed supersedeas bond to file with the clerk so execution is stayed while the appeal is heard.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What a supersedeas bond does

When you appeal a money judgment, the win below is still enforceable — the prevailing party can execute on it — unless you stay it. A supersedeas bond is how you stay it.

The bond guarantees the adverse party that if your appeal fails, the judgment gets paid, with the interest and costs that accrued while the case was on appeal. That assurance is what buys the stay.

Because the surety is standing behind the full judgment, these bonds are underwritten and frequently collateralized — there is no instant flat rate. We size the penal sum to the court’s requirement, underwrite the appellant, and quote it.

Nebraska StatuteNeb. Rev. Stat. § 25-1916 governs supersedeas on appeal. When the judgment directs payment of money, the bond is set to the amount of the judgment and taxable costs plus estimated interest and costs of appeal, and must be executed within 30 days of entry of the judgment or final order.

You need this bond if you’re

An appellant who lost a money judgment and wants to stay execution while you appeal
A defendant avoiding a levy or garnishment until the Court of Appeals or Supreme Court rules
Counsel perfecting a supersedeas within the 30-day window under § 25-1916
A business protecting accounts or assets from execution during an appeal

The application takes about ten minutes.

These are the actual underwriting fields — the case, the court, the judgment amount, and your business. Submit once and attach the judgment; a surety specialist responds, usually within one business day. Free until your bond is issued.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

What is a Nebraska supersedeas (appeal) bond? +
A court bond that stays execution of a money judgment while you appeal it. Under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-1916, posting the bond keeps the prevailing party from collecting until the Court of Appeals or Supreme Court decides the case. If you lose the appeal, the bond guarantees the judgment, interest, and costs get paid.
How much is the bond? +
The court sets the penal sum, not us. For a money judgment it tracks the amount of the judgment and taxable costs plus the estimated interest and costs of appeal. These bonds are underwritten, not flat-rated — there is no fixed 3% and no instant quote. Send us the judgment and a specialist sizes and prices it.
Will I need collateral? +
Often, yes — especially on larger judgments. Because the surety is backing the full judgment, underwriting may require collateral (such as cash, a letter of credit, or a lien) along with financials. The specialist tells you exactly what your file needs before you commit.
How fast can I get it? +
A surety specialist typically responds within one business day of an application with the judgment attached. Because Nebraska gives you 30 days from entry of judgment to perfect a supersedeas, applying early leaves room to arrange any collateral.
When do I have to file it? +
Under § 25-1916 the bond must be executed within 30 days after entry of the judgment, decree, or final order. If a timely motion for new trial is filed, the window runs from the ruling on that motion. Confirm the exact deadline with your counsel.
