Bail agents at All American Bail Bonds in Santa Clarita want to make the process of getting a loved one out of jail as quickly and smoothly as possible for their clients. They will put up the money to get your loved one out of jail, and they will just need to be payed back with some interest and collateral in the mean time.
“Collateral is essentially a loan to ensure your loved one shows up in court,” said Inessa Chavez, vice president of All American Bail Bonds in Santa Clarita.
A client’s house, car or any form of property that has high market value as collateral can be used as collateral.
Collateral properties will be rightfully returned when the case is closed, as per the contract, at All American Bail Bonds in Santa Clarita, even if the person is found guilty of all charges.
However, the state or the bail bond company will seize and collect those properties if the accused person skips or fails to show up in court.
Below is a list of different types of collateral:
- Cash: When the bail amount is small, some people choose to pay their bail in cash. They are able to get their money back after the case comes to a closure.
- Citation Release: In this case, the person violated certain laws and is immediately cited by an arresting officer. The arrested person is then given a citation note, describing the violations and court date.
- Property Bond: Real property is pledged, such as cars or houses that has a value at least equal to or twice the total bail amount by the accused person or a close family relative. The state takes the property away if the accused person decides not to show up in court on the assigned date.
- Immigration bond: Immigration bond is very different than other types of bail, it involves Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The arrest of such case may face deportation at the end of trial if he or she is not a legal immigrant of the United States.
- Surety Bond: Surety bond also means surety on bond or bail bond. A third party, like a bail bond company helps to bail out the arrested out of jail. During this process, a family member or a friend of the accused only need to pay 10% of the total bail to the bail bond company, instead of paying the full bail amount. However, the bail bond company loses the whole bail amount to the state if the accused decide to flee from court date or disappear during trial.
- Recognizance: When a person is arrested, he is booked and taken to jail. There is no bail involved. The person is released upon promising he would return to court. In many states, though the person is released on his own recognizance he is forbidden to leave the area until investigation is over.
Bank account balances, firearms, jewelry and pawnable items such as televisions, instruments and game systems can also be used as collateral.
