Stolen property: A person who believes that another person has stolen their personal property may file a replevin action to recover possession of the property. All you have to do is fill out the writ of replevin form, pay a filing fee and post a security bond.The process involves filling out forms and gathering supporting documents. Here is how to file a writ: Step 1: Determine if you are eligible to file. If the defendant cannot demonstrate good grounds, such as timely payments, then a Writ of Replevin will be issued directing the Sheriff to retake the property. Replevin (sometimes called revendication) is a lawsuit that allows an individual to reclaim personal property taken away unjustly or illegally. While repossession does not involve a formal process in court, replevin consists of getting the court to order the consumer to return the vehicle to the lender. It also requires filing an affidavit in the county or district court where the property is.
