What Should I Know Before Signing A Bail Bonds Contract In The South Bay?

If you receive a call from a friend or family member asking for your help in bailing them out of a South Bay jail your first instinct will likely be to say "yes". You should keep in mind, though, that by co-signing a bail bonds contract that you are agreeing to certain terms and conditions, and that the contract is legally binding.

When you co-sign for South Bay bail bonds you are promising the bail bondsman that the defendant will return to court for any and all mandated legal proceedings related to the charge(s) filed against them. Should the defendant willfully fail to appear and cannot be located, as the "indemnitor" of the contract you will become responsible for paying the full amount of the bail to the court. In the instance that you posted collateral, such as a vehicle, cash or piece of property to help secure the bail bond, that collateral will be considered "forfeited" and will not be returned.
