Washington Sheriff’s Indemnity Pre Judgement Bond
Overview
Get this bond in place and your Washington sheriff's pre-judgment levy or seizure action can move forward without delay. Washington's Sheriff's Indemnity Pre-Judgment Bond protects the sheriff against liability arising from carrying out a pre-judgment court order — such as a writ of attachment or garnishment — before a final judgment is entered. Without it, the sheriff will not act. With it, you authorize the seizure and hold the county harmless if the action is later found improper.
Who Needs This Bond?
Plaintiffs and their attorneys in active Washington civil litigation are the ones who purchase this bond. If you have obtained a pre-judgment writ — attachment, replevin, or a similar court-ordered seizure — and the Washington sheriff's office is being asked to execute it, this bond is your responsibility to provide. It is not the sheriff's bond to carry; it is yours to deliver before the writ is served.
What is this Bond For?
This bond indemnifies the Washington county sheriff for any loss, damage, or cost that results from executing a court-ordered pre-judgment action that may later be reversed, vacated, or found wrongful. It is a condition the sheriff imposes before taking property, freezing assets, or levying on a defendant before a final court ruling. The bond shifts the financial risk of that action from the sheriff's office to the party requesting the writ.
When is it Required?
Immediately upon obtaining a pre-judgment writ from a Washington court is exactly when this bond becomes mandatory. The moment you present that writ to the county sheriff for execution, the sheriff's office will require the indemnity bond before taking any action. There is no grace period — service of the writ does not occur until the bond is in the sheriff's hands.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide Washington requirement and applies in any county where a Washington sheriff is asked to execute a pre-judgment court order. The specific county sheriff's office holding the bond is determined by where the property or defendant is located. Bond Titan can issue this bond for use in any Washington county.
