Built to get the seizure moving.
An order of seizure can issue once the undertaking is filed, so the bond is usually the gating step in a recovery-of-chattel action. Here is the whole process:
Send us the file
Apply online with the affidavit and a description of the chattel and its value. That value drives the undertaking CPLR 7102 requires — not less than twice the value of the property.
A surety specialist underwrites it
A specialist reviews the affidavit, your financials, and any collateral, then returns a quote. The penal sum is set by statute and the property value — underwriting decides approval and collateral.
Execute & file
Once you bind, we issue the executed undertaking on the form the court requires with the power of attorney attached, ready to file so the sheriff can seize the chattel under the order.
What it is and who needs it.
Why recovery of a chattel needs a double bond
In New York, an action to recover a chattel (the modern name for replevin) lets you retake specific personal property — a vehicle, equipment, inventory — that someone is wrongfully holding, before the lawsuit ends, by seizing it under court order.
Because the property changes hands before a judge decides who is right, New York requires the plaintiff to post an undertaking that protects the defendant if the seizure turns out to be wrong. That is why the penal sum is at least double the value of the chattel stated in the plaintiff’s affidavit.
A defendant can post a redelivery undertaking to keep or regain the property. Either way the amount tracks the property, so the surety underwrites the file and may require collateral on a large penal sum.
