North Carolina replevin bonds.
Recover the property while the case runs.
In North Carolina you recover personal property someone is wrongfully holding through claim and delivery.
Before the sheriff hands the property over, you post a plaintiff’s undertaking protecting the other side.
By statute the undertaking is double the value of the property as stated in your affidavit.
It is underwritten, not flat-rated — tell us the property’s value and we quote it.

Built to get the property back fast.
The sheriff won’t deliver the property until the undertaking is posted. Here is the whole process:
Tell us the property
Send a description and the affidavit value of the property, the parties, and the court. The undertaking is double that value, so the value drives both the bond amount and the quote.
A specialist underwrites & quotes
A surety specialist reviews the matter and returns a quote with any collateral requirement. Higher-value property means a larger penal sum, which may be collateralized — we tell you up front.
Execute & file
We issue the bond on the form your court accepts, with the surety’s power of attorney attached, so the property can be delivered to you pending the action.

How claim and delivery works in North Carolina
North Carolina handles the recovery of wrongfully held personal property through claim and delivery (the modern form of the old action of replevin). To get the property back before the case is over, the plaintiff applies for an order of seizure and posts an undertaking.
You file an affidavit describing the property, stating its value and your right to immediate possession, and give the undertaking. The plaintiff’s undertaking is conditioned for the return of the property to the defendant — with damages for its deterioration and detention — or, if return cannot be had, for payment of its value.
Because you are taking the property before anyone has decided the case, N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1-475 fixes the undertaking at double the value of the property as stated in the affidavit, to protect the defendant for its return and for damages if you were not entitled to possession.
