An Arizona Affidavit In Lieu Of Bond is a legal document that allows a defendant to be released from jail without having to post a cash or surety bond. This document is signed by the defendant’s surety and two other persons who are willing to be responsible for ensuring the defendant’s appearance in court. The two other persons must be Arizona residents who are able to provide a personal guarantee for the defendant. There are two types of Arizona Affidavit In Lieu Of Bond: a single-party affidavit and a three-party affidavit. A single-party affidavit is signed by the defendant and their surety, while a three-party affidavit requires the two additional persons to sign the document. The two persons signing the affidavit must have sufficient financial resources to pay the bond amount if the defendant fails to appear in court.
