Built to get the writ moving.
The writ of replevin can’t issue until the bond is delivered, so the bond is usually the gating step in a recovery-of-property action. Here is the whole process:
Send us the file
Apply online with the complaint and a description of the property and its value. That value drives the bond 12 V.S.A. § 5373 requires — double the value of the property.
A surety specialist underwrites it
A specialist reviews the file, 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 bond on the form the court requires with the power of attorney attached, ready to deliver so the officer can serve the writ and take the property.
What it is and who needs it.
Why recovery of property needs a double bond
In Vermont, an action of replevin lets you retake specific personal property — a vehicle, equipment, inventory — that someone is wrongfully holding, before the lawsuit ends, by having an officer seize it under a writ.
Because the property changes hands before a judge decides who is right, Vermont requires the plaintiff to post a bond that protects the defendant if the taking turns out to be wrong. That is why the penalty is double the value of the property to be replevied.
The bond is conditioned to prosecute the action, return the property if the judgment so directs, and pay the defendant’s damages and costs. The amount tracks the property, so the surety underwrites the file and may require collateral on a large penal sum.
