Civil bonds are surety bonds that are required in civil court. This page outlines civil bond types that are frequently requested for these civil court cases.

 

 

TRO (Temporary Restraining Order) Bond

A Temporary Restraining Order Bond restrains the defendant from performing a specific act that is thought to cause harm to the plaintiff. These bonds are issued for a short period of time—usually no longer than 30-90 days.

Preliminary Injunction Bond

A Preliminary Injunction Bond is needed when a current Temporary Restraining Order bond has exceeded its time limit, and the courts have approved the action to become permanent.

Probate or Estate Bonds

Probate/Estate Bonds are needed when a person is handling the estate or affairs of another—usually those of the deceased or a minor.

• Administrator: Principal has been appointed to handle the estate of the deceased.
• Executor: Principal has been appointed through a will to handle the estate of the deceased (and you must submit a copy of the will.)
• Conservatorship: Principal has been appointed by the courts to handle the assets of a person who has been declared unable to handle their own affairs.
• Guardianship: Principal has been appointed to protect the assets of a minor until they reach majority.
• Trustee: Principal has been appointed through a trust to handle the estate of the deceased (and you must submit a copy of the trust.)

Writ of Attachment Bond

A Writ of Attachment Bond grants the Principal (the bond holder) the right to have the bank hold assets or cash that belong to the Obligee/Defendant until the dispute has been resolved through the court process.

A Release Writ of Attachment Bond can be obtained to release the original Writ of Attachment.

Writ of Possession Bond

A Writ of Possession bond allows the Principal (the bond holder) to have access to or possession of property until the dispute is resolved through the court process.

A Release Writ of Possession Bond can be obtained to release the original Writ of Possession.

Stop Notice Bond

A Stop Notice Bond allows the Principal (the bond holder) to place a lien against undisbursed construction funds which are in the possession of a bank or lender. To get this bond, you must submit a copy of the stop notice and mechanics lien, if filed. The bond amount is 1.25 times the stop notice.
