Recover personal property that’s being wrongfully held — before the case is decided.
Claim and delivery requires an undertaking, double the value of the property.
The penal sum tracks the property, so we underwrite it rather than flat-rate it.
A surety specialist reviews your file and returns a quote, usually within one business day.
















The sheriff takes the property once the undertaking is filed, so the bond is usually the gating step. Here is the whole process:
Apply online with the affidavit, a description of the property, and its value. That value drives the penal sum — double the value — the statute requires.
A specialist reviews the affidavit, 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.
Once you bind, we issue the executed bond on the required form with the power of attorney attached, ready for the sheriff’s sureties to approve so the property can be taken.
Claim and delivery (replevin) lets you recover specific personal property — a vehicle, equipment, inventory — that someone is wrongfully holding, before the lawsuit ends.

A defendant can require redelivery by giving an undertaking of their own under NDCC 32-07-06 to keep the goods pending judgment. Either way the amount tracks the property, so the surety underwrites the file and may require collateral on a large penal sum.
