Built to get the seizure moving.
The sheriff can take the property once the undertaking is given, so the bond is usually the gating step in a claim-and-delivery 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 SC Code § 15-69-50 requires — double 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 deliver so the sheriff can take the chattel.
What it is and who needs it.
Why recovery of a chattel needs a double bond
In South Carolina, a claim-and-delivery action (the modern form of replevin) lets you retake specific personal property — a vehicle, equipment, inventory — that someone is wrongfully holding, before the lawsuit ends, by having the sheriff take it under the statute.
Because the property changes hands before a judge decides who is right, South Carolina requires the plaintiff to give an undertaking that protects the defendant if the seizure turns out to be wrong. That is why the penal sum is double the value of the property stated in the plaintiff’s affidavit.
A defendant can give an 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.
