A: It depends on what the bond is for. Your attorney may be seeking a TRO (temporary restraining order) or temporary injunction to prevent the sale of the residence. Such legal action requires a bond or cash deposit in lieu of bond. An alternative that will not require a bond is a notice of lis pendens. Your attorney should be able to explain which option is best for you based on the particular facts of your situation.
