Virginia appeal & supersedeas bonds.
We size, underwrite & quote it.
File your appeal without the judgment being executed against you. A suspending (supersedeas) bond halts collection while the appeal is pending. The judgment sets the penal sum — and we underwrite it. A surety specialist reviews your file and returns a quote, usually within one business day.

Built for the post-judgment clock.
In Virginia a money judgment can be executed once it is entered — a notice of appeal alone does not suspend it unless you post a suspending bond. Here is the whole process:
Send us the file
Apply online and attach the judgment and notice of appeal. We need the judgment amount, the parties, and the court, so we can size the suspending bond Va. Code § 8.01-676.1 requires.
A surety specialist underwrites it
A specialist reviews the judgment, your financials, and any collateral, then returns a quote. Larger bonds are typically collateralized — cash, a letter of credit, or pledged assets.
Execute & file
Once you bind, we issue the executed suspending bond on the form the court requires with the power of attorney attached, ready for the trial court to approve so execution is suspended.
What it is and who needs it.
What a supersedeas bond actually does
In Virginia, noting an appeal does not by itself stop the winning party from executing on a money judgment. A suspending bond (also called a supersedeas or appeal bond) is the security that buys you a suspension — execution is held while the appellate court decides.
The bond guarantees that if your appeal fails, the judgment, interest, and the damages caused by the delay get paid. That is why the penal sum tracks the judgment — plus a year’s interest — rather than a flat figure, and why the surety underwrites you before issuing it.
Because the surety is on the hook for the judgment, a large bond is usually collateralized — with cash, a letter of credit, or pledged assets — and supported by financials. We tell you what a given file needs before you commit.
