New Jersey Refunding Bond and Release is a type of legal document used in New Jersey to provide a guarantee that a seller of real estate or an agent of the seller will return any down payment to the buyer if the sale is not completed. It is also used to release a lien or other encumbrance from a property. The bond ensures that the seller will pay any debt or other obligation that the buyer has incurred in the event of a failed transaction. There are two types of New Jersey Refunding Bond and Release: a Single Bond and Release and an Irrevocable Bond and Release. A Single Bond and Release is a one-time bond that is issued for a specific transaction and is released upon completion. An Irrevocable Bond and Release is a bond that is issued for multiple transactions and remains in effect until all transactions have been completed.
