Collateral
is any kind of property or cash used to secure the performance of the bond. Collateral serves as protection for
a bondsman against the Defendant's default - usually a failure to appear for not showing to their Court
hearing or not abiding by their Conditions of Release. If a the Defendant's bond gets forfeited
to the Court, the owner of the collateral or Indemnitor is required to pay the forfeited bond amount or the collateral will
be sold. Any deficencies arising from the sale of the collateral are the responsibility of the Indemnitor. On
the other hand, if the sale of collateral brings in more money than the forfeited bond, the owner will receive the difference. If the Defendant attends all of their Court hearings and the bond is ordered exonerated, the collateral
will be returned to its owner. In most cases the Defendant appears for their hearings, the bond gets exonerated
and the the collateral is happily returned.
Acceptable Forms of Collateral
- Titles to cars, trucks, flatbed trailers, motor homes, travel trailers,
mobil homes, boats, anything that is titled in Arizona as long as it is lien-free (no money owed on it). Worth is based
on low Trade-in values (Kelley, NADA, Edmonds, and others)
- Deeds
of Trust / Warranty Deeds on real estate. This is the most frequently used form of collateral on large bail bonds.
Recent appraisals performed by licensed appraisers hasten the process.
