What this bond does

This bond secures the indemnity undertaken by the requesting party for the officer’s specified action. Keep the obligation tied to the actual writ or instructions.

Who needs it
A Maine applicant asked to provide indemnity for process, rather than someone seeking a bond for holding public office.
Who it protects
The accepted form identifies the officer protected and the extent of the indemnity. The bond does not insure your ability to collect a debt.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Keep the property description with the request

When the process concerns property, have the description used in the request available for the application. Avoid substituting a different asset or a general estimate of everything the other party owns.

This page’s RLI route has no fixed amount or term displayed. The requested security and period should come from your paperwork, not from an assumed standard for Maine.

Sources

Have these ready

  1. Have the applicant’s legal name, receiving officer and written request ready. These are useful preparation details; RLI will identify its required documents.
  2. Keep the case reference and any writ or property description available if relevant to the requested act.
  3. After issuance, compare the bond to the request and arrange delivery to the recipient as instructed.

Questions about this bond

Does the bond establish ownership of property?

No. It secures the indemnity described in its form and does not settle a dispute about ownership.

What should I do with an unclear property description?

Have the request clarified through the receiving office or your case adviser before using it in the application.

Can I assume the bond lasts until the case ends?

No. Use the period and conditions stated in the actual request and bond form; this listing does not specify a term.

Can I apply without calling first?

Yes. Use Purchase Now to open RLI in a new tab. After issuance, delivery and the officer’s acceptance still need to be addressed separately.
