Built for claim and delivery.
In South Dakota you can take immediate possession of personal property at the start of a possession action, but only after furnishing the statutory undertaking. Here is the whole process:
Send us the file
Apply online with the affidavit value of the property, the parties, and the court. We size the undertaking to double the value SDCL 21-15-4 requires.
A surety specialist underwrites it
A specialist reviews the matter, your financials, and any collateral, then returns a quote. A high-value property bond is typically collateralized — cash, a letter of credit, or pledged assets.
Execute & file
Once you bind, we issue the executed undertaking with the power of attorney attached, ready for the sheriff’s approval and service with the claim-and-delivery papers.
What it is and who needs it.
What a replevin bond actually does
Replevin — called claim and delivery in South Dakota — lets you take back specific personal property at the start of a lawsuit instead of waiting for judgment. Because you are seizing property before the merits are decided, the law requires security first.
The bond guarantees that if the court later decides the property was not yours to take, the defendant gets it back and is paid for any damage or loss. That is why the penal sum is fixed at double the value rather than a flat figure.
Because the surety stands behind the return and the damages, a high-value bond is usually collateralized and supported by financials. We tell you what a given file needs before you commit.
