Bail Bond Paperwork & Co-Signer Responsibilities

The co-signer (also called an indemnitor) typically signs an indemnity agreement. This means the co-signer is taking responsibility for helping ensure the defendant follows release conditions and appears for all required court dates. It’s important to understand the financial responsibility described in the agreement before signing.

Collateral may be requested in some cases, but it is not always required. If collateral is discussed, ask what types may be accepted and when it may be returned, based on the case completing and all court appearances being satisfied.
