How it works

Built for the post-judgment clock.

In Wyoming a money judgment can be executed once the automatic stay lapses — a notice of appeal alone does not hold it unless you post a supersedeas bond the trial court approves. Here is the whole process:

TODAY · 10 MINUTES

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 supersedeas bond W.R.A.P. 4.02 requires.

WITHIN 1 BUSINESS DAY

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.

ON APPROVAL

Execute & file

Once you bind, we issue the executed bond on the form the court requires with the power of attorney attached, ready to present to the trial court for approval and stay execution.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What a supersedeas bond actually does

In Wyoming, taking an appeal does not by itself stop the winning party from executing on a money judgment once the automatic post-judgment stay runs out. A supersedeas bond (also called an appeal bond) is the security that buys you a stay — execution is held while the appellate court decides.

The bond guarantees that if your appeal fails, the judgment, interest, and costs get paid. That is why the penal sum tracks the judgment rather than a flat figure, and why the surety underwrites you before issuing it — and why the trial court must approve the bond and its sureties.

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.

Wyoming AuthorityWyoming Rule of Appellate Procedure 4.02 (Supersedeas Bonds) provides that an appellant may obtain a stay of execution of a judgment by presenting to the trial court for approval a supersedeas bond with sufficient surety, and the stay takes effect when the bond is approved. W.S. 1-17-201 (Right to stay; procedure) governs the statutory right to a stay of execution of a judgment for the recovery of money or sale of property. By statute, a supersedeas bond to stay execution of a money judgment shall not exceed $2,000,000 where all appellants are individuals or have 50 or fewer employees, or $25,000,000 in any other action, except that a court may require a larger bond on proof that an appellant is dissipating assets.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

What is a Wyoming appeal or supersedeas bond? +
It is the bond that stays execution of a judgment while you appeal. Under W.R.A.P. 4.02, a supersedeas bond presented to and approved by the trial court holds execution until the appellate court rules. The bond guarantees the judgment, interest, and costs are paid if the appeal fails.
How much does it cost? +
It is underwritten, not flat-rated. The judgment sets the penal sum — the bond is conditioned to satisfy the judgment, interest, and costs if it is affirmed. A surety specialist reviews the file and any collateral and returns a premium quote, usually within one business day.
Will I need to post collateral? +
Often, yes, especially for a large bond. Because the surety guarantees the full judgment, the bond is frequently collateralized with cash, a letter of credit, or pledged assets, and supported by financials. We tell you what your specific file requires before you commit.
How is the penal sum calculated? +
It tracks the money judgment plus interest and costs. Wyoming also caps a supersedeas bond on a money judgment at $2 million where all appellants are individuals or have 50 or fewer employees, and $25 million otherwise, unless a court finds an appellant is dissipating assets and requires more.
How fast can the bond be issued? +
A specialist typically returns a quote within one business day of a complete application. Once you bind and any collateral is in place, the executed bond issues on the court’s required form, ready to present to the trial court for approval and stay execution.
