How it works

Built to get the seizure moving.

A prejudgment writ of replevin can issue once the bond is filed, so the bond is usually the gating step in a claim-and-delivery action. Here is the whole process:

Once you bind, we issue the executed bond on the form the court requires with the power of attorney attached, ready to file so the sheriff can seize the property under the writ.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

Why claim and delivery needs a bond

In Wyoming, a replevin (claim-and-delivery) action lets you retake specific personal property — a vehicle, equipment, inventory — that someone is wrongfully holding, before the lawsuit ends, by seizing it under a prejudgment writ.

Because the property changes hands before a judge decides who is right, Wyoming requires the plaintiff to file a bond that protects the defendant if the seizure turns out to be wrong. The court fixes the amount, and in practice it is frequently set at double the estimated value of the property.

A defendant can post a redelivery bond to keep or regain the property. Either way the amount tracks the property, so the surety underwrites the file and may require collateral on a large penal sum.

Wyoming AuthorityW.S. 1-15-104 (Prejudgment writs; bond required) provides that no prejudgment writ of replevin, attachment, or garnishment shall issue unless the plaintiff files with the clerk a surety bond in an amount fixed by the court for the payment of all costs and damages which may be incurred or suffered by any party as a result of the wrongful issuance of the writ. The replevin article (W.S. 1-15-301 et seq.) governs the claim-and-delivery procedure; in practice the plaintiff’s bond is frequently set at double the estimated value of the property, and a third-party claimant’s indemnity bond under W.S. 1-15-306 is in double the amount of the estimated value of the property seized unless the sheriff accepts a lesser amount.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

What is a Wyoming replevin bond? +
It is the bond a plaintiff files to recover personal property before judgment in a claim-and-delivery action. Under W.S. 1-15-104, a prejudgment writ of replevin issues only on a surety bond, in an amount fixed by the court, for the costs and damages of a wrongful taking — frequently set at double the value of the property.
How much does it cost? +
It is underwritten, not flat-rated. The court fixes the penal sum, tied to the property value and often double it. A surety specialist reviews your file and any collateral and returns a premium quote, usually within one business day.
Why is the bond often twice the value of the property? +
Because the property changes hands before a judge rules. To protect the defendant if the seizure turns out to be wrongful, the court frequently fixes the plaintiff’s bond at double the estimated value of the property; a third-party claimant’s indemnity bond is likewise in double the value under W.S. 1-15-306.
Will I need collateral? +
Sometimes, especially on a high-value penal sum. Because the surety guarantees the defendant’s recovery, a large bond may require collateral and financials. We tell you what your specific file needs before you commit.
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 form, ready to file so the sheriff can seize the property.
