Filing an appeal does not, by itself, stop the other side from collecting.
A supersedeas bond stays execution of the money judgment while your appeal runs.
The court sets the penal sum — typically the judgment plus interest and costs.
We underwrite it and a specialist returns a quote, usually within one business day.
















A notice of appeal alone leaves you exposed to garnishment and execution. The bond is what actually buys the stay — here is the whole process:
The court order, the case, the penal sum the court set (or the size of the estate or property), and who the fiduciary is. The application captures it once — no broker phone tag.
A surety specialist reviews the bond and the principal, then returns a quote — usually within one business day. Larger penal sums may call for financials or collateral; we tell you up front, not at the closing table.
Approve the quote, sign, and receive the executed bond on the court’s required form with power of attorney attached. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the clerk insists.
When you lose a money judgment in Utah and appeal, the appeal does not automatically stop the winner from collecting. To pause execution, you post a supersedeas (appeal) bond.
The bond guarantees the judgment creditor that if your appeal fails, the judgment — plus the interest and costs that accrued while it was stayed — will be paid. That guarantee is what persuades the court to stay enforcement.
Because the bond stands behind the full judgment, the penal sum is large and the surety underwrites the principal closely. Collateral or financial statements are common on substantial judgments. This is not an instant, flat-rate license bond.
