How it works

Built to get the writ moving.

A writ of replevin can issue quickly once the bond is posted with the sheriff, so the bond is usually the gating step. Here is the whole process:

TODAY · 10 MINUTES

Send us the file

Apply online with the complaint or order, a description of the property, and its value. That value drives the penal sum the court approves.

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 to 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 deliver to the sheriff so the writ can be served.

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 Jersey requires the plaintiff to post a bond that protects the defendant if the seizure turns out to be wrong. That is why the penal sum is typically double the value of the property.

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. We tell you what your file needs before you commit.

New Jersey Statute & RuleN.J.S.A. 2B:50-1 authorizes an action for replevin in the Superior Court to recover goods wrongfully held; on establishing the claim, the court enters an order granting possession. The writ procedure is governed by R. 4:61. On receipt of the writ and delivery of a replevin bond or cash deposit, the sheriff causes the chattels to be replevied; the bond is subject to the court’s approval under R. 1:13-3(a) and contains the terms set forth in R. 1:13-3(b). The replevin bond is commonly set at double the value of the property.
