What this bond does

This bond secures the applicant’s promise to indemnify the officer for the specified action. Match the requested obligation to the writ or instructions before completing the application.

The named officer receives the protection stated in the accepted form. It does not assure the applicant that property can be taken or that a debt will be recovered.

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 security and authority separate

An indemnity bond addresses the obligation in its form. It does not replace a writ or resolve questions about the action you are entitled to request. Use your case adviser for those questions while the application addresses the bond.

This page offers one RLI route without a specified amount or term. Take those details from the written indemnity request rather than assuming they follow the value of the dispute.

Sources
