An action for replevin is brought by filing a Complaint in the appropriate County. After the filing of the Complaint in replevin, in order to take immediate possession of the property, the party seeking the property can seek a writ of seizure from the Court.
The Complaint: The complaint in replevin typically must include: (i) a description of the property to be replevied; (ii) its value; (iii) its location if known; and (iv) the material facts upon which the claim is based – in other words, why the filing party is entitled to seize the property that has been taken.
Under Pennsylvania law, replevin actions have a two-year statute of limitations.
If the value of the property is greater than $25,000 then the Complaint must be filed in the Superior Court. If the value of the property is $25,000 or less, the filer may actually file in either the Circuit Court or the Superior Court.
