Putting Your Assets on the Line for Family and Friends

Family, friends, and relatives get arrested. Bad things happen to good people all the time. People make bad decisions and mistakes. Some people have a history of doing this. Be smart and evaluate the whole situation before you reach into your hard-earned assets to bail someone out. Make sure you get your questions answered by your Bail Bonds Company. Good companies will always give you straight-up answers and will have your back.

Things to Consider Before Signing a Bail Bond Contract

A bounty hunter charge cost is typically around 10% for recoveries and as much as 35% for out-of-state recovery – in addition, to travel, investigative, and other associated costs. Guess who has to pay for this? The person who signed the contract. If the defendant does not show up to court and cannot be located by the bounty hunter, the entire amount of bail originally set by the court is due. The sole responsibility falls back on the (Indemnitor) which is the person that signed the contract at the time of posting bail. If there was collateral was taken at the time of bail posting (such as a cash, or lien on a car or house), that will be used to pay the bond.
So what are your options? Can you rescind or revoke a bond after posting bail? The answer is No. Once the bond is placed, absent some other situation, the Bail Bondsman should not be able to revoke his/her bond just because they are not happy or are scared their friend or loved one won’t show up to their court date. The issue will ultimately be up to the judge.

REVOKING BAIL:  STATE LAWS VARY AS TO THE BAIL REVOCATION PROCESS. NEVERTHELESS, ALL STATE LAWS ALLOW FOR REVOCATION OF BAIL IF A DEFENDANT VIOLATES A CONDITION OF RELEASE, FAILS TO APPEAR, OR COMMITS ANOTHER CRIME WHILE ON BAIL.  

A Defendant’s Bail Bond Can Be Revoked for a Few Reasons

to commit a crime while released, even in the absence of a conviction for that crime, and violating any other condition of bail, such as failing to stay away from the crime victim.

Getting Bail Reinstated: Even after the bond has been forfeited, it’s still possible to have it set aside through “remission.” A bail remission motion is a request to refund money that was forfeited. Generally, these motions must be filed within a certain time, such as one year, from the date of forfeiture. Whether to grant relief from forfeiture is usually within the trial court’s discretion. Judges consider whether justice requires the forfeiture.

Typically, a forfeiture can be set aside if:

the defendant wasn’t aware of the specific condition violated

the defendant’s violation wasn’t willful

the government incurred no expense in attempting to locate the defendant, or

the government wasn’t prejudiced or damaged by the violation.

Under federal and some state laws, forfeiture can be set aside in whole or in part.

If a defendant is out on bail and wants to stay that way, showing up in court and following the conditions of release are crucial. The cost of one missed court date or violating a condition of release is the defendant’s financial and personal freedom.

¿POR QUÉ PUEDE ESTAR NERVIOSO POR PAGAR LA FIANZA A ALGUIEN QUE ES UN RIESGO DE VUELO?

El costo de un cargo de cazarrecompensas suele ser de alrededor del 10 % para las recuperaciones y hasta un 35 % para las recuperaciones fuera del estado, además de los costos de viaje, investigación y otros costos asociados. . ¿Adivina quién tiene que pagar esto? La persona que firmó el contrato. Si el acusado no se presenta ante el tribunal y el cazarrecompensas no puede localizarlo, se debe el monto total de la fianza originalmente establecida por el tribunal. La única responsabilidad recae en el Indemnizador que es la persona que firmó el contrato al momento de prestar la fianza.

Si se tomó una garantía en el momento de la publicación de la fianza (como efectivo o gravamen sobre un automóvil o una casa), eso se utilizará para pagar la fianza. Entonces, ¿cuáles son sus opciones? ¿Puede rescindir o revocar una fianza? después de pagar la fianza? En teoría, no. Una vez que se coloca la fianza, en ausencia de otra situación, el fiador no debería poder revocar su fianza solo porque no está contento o tiene miedo de que su amigo o ser querido no se presente a la fecha de la corte. Sin embargo, el problema finalmente dependerá del juez, si desea permitir que el fiador de la fianza retire su fianza.

The reality of the situation is that Bail Bonds are designed for only one purpose and that is making sure you will show up in court while staying out of jail until the process is completed and settled.
