Bail Information

What you should know when signing for a Bail Bond Indemnitor
(CO-SIGNER):
It is the responsibility of the indemnitor (co-signer) to see that the premium is paid. A bail bond is an appearance bond. If the case continues longer than a year, and additional premium is due and is collected for each additional year. These premiums are not refundable and upon the release of the defendent are fully earned. Any expenses incurred in the transaction of a bail bond, such as long distance calls, travel, or posting fees are to be paid by the indemnitor to the bail agent. Most additional expenses we incure. It is the responsibility of the defendent or indemnitor to supply accurate information.

IF THE DEFENDENT DOES NOT APPEAR:
The defendent is obligated by the bail agreement to appear at each and every court appearance required by the court. The failure to do so will result in the forfeiture of the bond. Failure to act immediately can add up expense, such as tracing fees, court costs, and attorney fees if legal action is taken. The indemnitor is liable. The law provides that the associated expenses can not exceed the face amount of the bond. (California Regular Code Title 10 Section 2081(d).

GETTING OFF BOND LIABILITY:
You are no longer liable for the defendent's bond when he/she has completes all of their court appearences, and when all premiums have been paid. It is best to contact the agent when the bond is exonerated by the court, for the fast return of any collateral pledged and to confirm that the bond is exonerated.In the event of forfeiture, the indemnitor is liable until the full amount of the bail has been paid, plus any expenses incurred or until the court exonerates the bond. The bond then becomes void.

1. What is a bail bond?

A bail bond is a written guarantee that a defendant will attend all further Court proceedings. Bail is set by a court to make sure that a defendant will appear and also to offer the community protection if the defendant is considered dangerous. The more likely it is that a person is dangerous or will not appear in Court when required, the higher the bail will be.

2. What type of bonds are there?

There are five primary types of bonds: Surety, Cash Only, Secured, Unsecured, and Signature or Own Recognizance sometimes called "OR".

3. How can bonds be posted?

Surety: This is done by a bail bondsman and usually this is the most cost effective manner than the rest.

Cash Only: The defendant and/or a co-signer must pay a designated amount of money to the Court. The defendant and a co-signer, if any, must also sign a bond order guaranteeing the appearance of the defendant at further Court hearings.

Secured: The defendant must pay a designated amount of money or provide the Court with security such as a title to property worth at least as much as the ordered bond amount. The co-signer and defendant must then sign a bond order guaranteeing the defendant's appearance for further Court proceedings.

Unsecured: The defendant signs a bond guaranteeing appearance for further hearings with the understanding that if the defendant does not appear, he/she will be responsible for paying the Court a designated amount of money. In these instances a hearing officer may require that a responsible third party, such as a relative, sign the bond.

Signature/Own Recognizance "OR": The defendant signs a bond order guaranteeing appearance for further proceedings.

4. When I sign a bond, what am I promising?

You are promising that the defendant will appear and that the defendant will follow all conditions placed on him/her.

5. Who can post bond for a juvenile?

Any adult can post bond for a juvenile; however, the juvenile can only be released to his/her parents or a guardian.

6. What happens if the defendant does not show for court as promised?

You could lose any money or property that was posted for bail.
