Washington bonds

Washington — Attachment Bond

Identify the Washington court, attachment request and actual required sum before applying. RCW 6.25.080 distinguishes superior and district court amounts and includes a narrow real-estate exception; a single default amount or universal requirement would be misleading.

What this bond does

Supply the plaintiff's accepted attachment security when required for the actual case.

Who needs it
The attaching plaintiff and advisers checking the court's order, claim and any relevant exception.
Who it protects
The section addresses prosecution without delay, adjudged defendant costs and damages from a wrongfully, oppressively or maliciously obtained attachment, within the stated security penalty. It is not insurance of the plaintiff's right to collect.

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.

Check the court and the real-estate exception

Use the actual court requirement. The section distinguishes superior and district court thresholds, describes a double-demand calculation and allows a court-fixed amount. This option does not establish a preset limit; do not select one threshold as the answer for every case.

The real-estate-only exception also requires the specified affidavit and statutory grounds. Do not assume every real-estate attachment is exempt. The section separately addresses assigned claims and assignors retaining an interest; identify those interests in the case file.

Purchase Now opens Propeller. Confirm the plaintiff, court, required sum and accepted condition before applying, then file with the clerk as directed. Purchase alone does not issue the attachment writ or authorize independent action against property.

Questions about this bond

Does every Washington case use one minimum?

No. RCW 6.25.080 distinguishes court levels and includes amount language and a court-fixed alternative. Obtain the actual court requirement.

Is real estate always exempt from attachment security?

No. The section's exception is limited to real estate only, the stated affidavit and specified grounds. Have its application to the case confirmed.

Does the bond penalty cap all liability on an assigned claim?

Do not assume that. The section separately addresses plaintiff and interested-assignor liability. Keep those parties and interests in the file for the case adviser.
