Washington replevin & claim-and-delivery bonds.
We size, underwrite & quote it.
Recover personal property that’s being wrongfully held — before the case is decided. Washington’s replevin process requires a bond in a sum the court orders. The penal sum tracks the property and the court’s order, so we underwrite it rather than flat-rate it. A surety specialist reviews your file and returns a quote, usually within one business day.

Built to get the property moving.
In a Washington replevin action the bond is the gating step — it lets the sheriff take the property while the case proceeds. Here is the whole process:
Send us the file
Apply online with the complaint or order awarding possession, a description of the property, and its value. The court’s order and the property value drive the penal sum.
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 the court — underwriting decides approval and collateral.
Execute & file
Once you bind, we issue the executed bond on the court’s required form with the power of attorney attached, ready to file with the clerk so the sheriff can take the property.
What it is and who needs it.
Why claim and delivery needs a bond
Replevin (claim and delivery) lets you recover specific personal property — a vehicle, equipment, inventory — that someone is wrongfully holding, before the lawsuit ends.
Because the property changes hands before a judge decides who is right, Washington requires the plaintiff to post a bond that protects the defendant if the seizure turns out wrong. The bond is conditioned that the plaintiff will prosecute without delay and, if the order is wrongfully sued out, pay the defendant’s costs, damages, reasonable attorney fees, and costs of recovery.
Unlike a flat double-value rule, Washington sets the amount by the court’s order: the bond runs in a sum the court orders, with surety approved by the clerk. If the defendant posts a redelivery bond under RCW 7.64.050 to get the property back, it runs in an amount equal to the plaintiff’s bond. Because the amount tracks the property and the court’s order, the surety underwrites the file and may require collateral on a large penal sum.
