How it works

Built for the appeal clock.

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:

TODAY · 5 MINUTES

Tell us the basics

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.

WITHIN 1 BUSINESS DAY

A specialist underwrites it

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.

ONCE YOU APPROVE

E-sign & file with the court

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.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What a supersedeas bond actually does

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.

Utah AuthorityUtah Rule of Appellate Procedure 8 governs stays and the security required pending appeal; Utah Rule of Civil Procedure 62 governs the supersedeas bond and stay of enforcement of a judgment in the trial court. The amount is approved by the court and ordinarily covers the judgment plus interest and costs.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

What is a Utah supersedeas (appeal) bond? +
It is a court bond that stays execution of a money judgment while you appeal. Under Utah Rule of Appellate Procedure 8 and Utah Rule of Civil Procedure 62, posting a court-approved supersedeas bond pauses collection — garnishment, execution, liens — until the appeal is decided. If the appeal fails, the bond stands behind the judgment plus interest and costs.
How much does it cost? +
There is no flat rate. The court sets the penal sum — typically the judgment plus accruing interest and costs — and the premium is underwritten from the size of that obligation and the appellant’s financial strength. We quote it on review, usually within one business day. Tell us the judgment amount and we will size it.
Will I need to post collateral? +
Often, yes, on a substantial judgment. Because the bond guarantees the entire judgment, sureties commonly require collateral (cash, a letter of credit, or other security) or current financial statements before issuing. We tell you what a given penal sum will require up front — not after you have committed.
How large is the penal sum? +
It is set by the court and ordinarily covers the full judgment plus the interest and costs that will accrue while enforcement is stayed. Utah courts approve the amount; we underwrite and issue to whatever figure the court fixes.
How fast can I get it? +
A specialist typically returns a quote within one business day of a complete application. Issuance then depends on how quickly any required collateral or financials come together — on a clean file the executed bond follows shortly after you approve the quote.
