How it works

Built to get the property moving.

In a New Hampshire replevin action the security is the gating step — the writ doesn’t issue until it’s posted and approved. Here is the whole process:

TODAY · 10 MINUTES

Send us the file

Apply online with the complaint, a description of the property, and its value. That value drives the penal sum the statute requires — double the value of the property as the court determines it.

WITHIN 1 BUSINESS DAY

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 statute and the property value — underwriting decides approval and collateral.

ON APPROVAL

Execute & file

Once you bind, we issue the executed bond on the court’s required form with the power of attorney attached, ready to file so the writ of replevin can issue.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

Why replevin needs a double bond

Replevin (claim-and-delivery) 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, New Hampshire requires the applicant to post security that protects the party in possession if the writ turns out to have been wrongly ordered. That is why the penal sum is double the value of the property.

The security runs to the benefit of the defendant: if the court later finds the replevin was wrongly ordered, the bond compensates the harm. The amount tracks the property, so the surety underwrites the file and may require collateral on a large penal sum.

New Hampshire StatuteRSA 536-A:7 governs the replevin bond. A writ of replevin shall not issue until the applicant has filed with the court a written undertaking, executed by the applicant and secured by sufficient securities approved by the court, in an amount of double the value of the property as determined by the court. The securities may include, but are not limited to, bonds, letters of credit, security interests, or cash in a form and amount acceptable to the court.

You need this bond if you’re

A secured lender or lessor recovering a vehicle, equipment, or collateral on a defaulted agreement
A business reclaiming inventory, machinery, or goods being wrongfully withheld
An owner of personal property seeking its return before the case is decided
Counsel for a plaintiff who needs the security filed so the writ of replevin can issue

The application takes about ten minutes.

These are the actual underwriting fields — the complaint, the property and its value, your business, and your financials. Submit once and a surety specialist returns a quote, typically 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 New Hampshire replevin bond? +
It is the security an applicant files to recover personal property before judgment in a replevin action. Under RSA 536-A:7, the writ does not issue until the applicant files an undertaking, approved by the court, in an amount of double the value of the property, to compensate the other side if the replevin is later found to have been wrongly ordered.
How much does it cost? +
It is underwritten, not flat-rated. The penal sum is set by statute and the property value — double the value of the property as the court determines it. A surety specialist reviews your file and any collateral and returns a premium quote, usually within one business day.
Why is the bond twice the value of the property? +
Because the property changes hands before a judge rules. RSA 536-A:7 sets the security at double the value of the property so the party in possession is protected if the applicant turns out to be wrong and the replevin was wrongly ordered.
Does it have to be a surety bond? +
No — RSA 536-A:7 lets the court accept a bond, letter of credit, security interest, or cash. A surety bond is the most common way to satisfy the requirement without tying up the full double-value amount in cash. We write the bond and size it to the court’s valuation.
How fast can the bond be issued? +
A specialist typically returns a quote within one business day of a complete application. Once you bind and any collateral is in place, the executed bond issues on the court’s form, ready to file so the writ of replevin can issue.
