Description

The Bail Bond Agreement is a legal document used in Florida to facilitate the release of a defendant from custody upon the payment of a premium. This form is essential for applicants seeking bail by outlining obligations to the bail bonding company (BBC) and the surety. Key features include the requirement to pay a premium and potential additional charges for extraordinary services. It specifies the indemnity the applicant provides to protect the BBC and surety from liabilities. The agreement also requires cooperation from the applicant in the event of a forfeiture of the bond, and details responsibilities related to recapturing a defendant if necessary. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants by providing a clear framework for bail transactions, minimizing risks, and ensuring compliance with legal obligations. Users with varying degrees of legal knowledge can fill out the form effectively, as it emphasizes clear language and structured obligations.

The uniform bond schedule The new law mandates the Florida Supreme Court to establish a uniform schedule for specific offenses not included in the “dangerous crime” category. This schedule became effective on January 1, 2024, outlining set bond amounts for various felonies and misdemeanors.

Bail bond fees are set by the state When bond is set for someone who was arrested in Florida, the amount is not made up. The bond is set based on pre-determined criteria depending on the crime. The criteria can include previous convictions, the likelihood of appearance, and the severity of the crime.

Companies can issue bonds, but most bonds are issued by governments.

The defendant can post their own bail or ask a family member or friend to post it. If the defendant uses a bond company, the company may require the defendant to have a co-signer (someone who will help the company find the defendant should they fail to appear).

Paying Cash Bail to the Court In some jurisdictions, the court may also allow you to post a property bond, which will use property that you own as collateral for your conditional release. Unfortunately, though, if your bail amount is high, you may not have the resources to post bail with the court on your own.
