Description

A bail bond in Ohio represents a legally binding agreement whereby an individual, known as the Applicant, secures the release of a Defendant from custody by paying a premium to a Bail Bonding Company (BBC). This agreement outlines the Applicant's responsibilities, including payment terms, indemnification of the BBC and the Surety against any liabilities that arise from the agreement, and cooperation in the Defendant's legal obligations. It is essential for users to fill in specific details such as names, addresses, and the penal sum of the bond. The form emphasizes the importance of timely communication, especially regarding any changes in contact information, as failure to notify may result in the Defendant’s immediate surrender. This bail bond form serves crucial functions for legal professionals, including attorneys and paralegals, as it helps in managing the legal risks and financial responsibilities associated with bail bonds. It also provides clarity on procedural actions post-bond execution, making it a valuable resource for law firms, legal assistants, and paralegals assisting clients in the bail process, ensuring compliance with Ohio law while protecting the interests of the involved parties.

FAQ

You may be able to obtain a bail bond through the Central Ohio court system by paying 10 percent of the bail amount. If you go to court hearings when required, at the end of your case you will receive all or a percentage of your deposit back. The amount returned to you may depend on how the case is resolved.

No - if you signed the bond it doesn't matter whether you have a job or not - or whether the bondsman asked you if you did. You are liable as surety on the bond - having a job or not has nothing to do with your liability. Sorry.

The amendment — which voters overwhelmingly approved in November 2022 — requires judges to consider public safety when setting bail. The amendment also took power away from the Ohio Supreme Court to set rules on bail amounts or conditions and gave it to state lawmakers.

What Is a Term Bond? Term bonds are notes issued by companies to the public or investors with scheduled maturity dates. The term of the bond is the amount of time between bond issuance and bond maturity. On the maturity date of a term bond, the bond's face value, the principal amount, must be repaid to the bondholder.

A bond's credit quality is usually determined by independent bond rating agencies, such as Moody's Investors Service, Inc., and Standard & Poor's Corporation (S&P). These agencies classify bonds into 2 basic categories—investment-grade and below-investment-grade—and provide detailed ratings within each.
