What is an Indemnitor (sometimes called a Cosigner)?
An Indemnitor is a person who agrees to be financially responsible for the full amount of the bail bond in the event the defendant fails to make a court appearance and cannot be returned to court. If you bail someone out, the indemnitor is you. Call us for more details.
An indemnitor is liable for the full amount of the bail if the defendant does not appear in court. It is essential that this person trusts the defendant and believes in their intent to comply with court appearances. Before signing, an indemnitor should assess their own financial situation. Additionally, an indemnitor should maintain open communication with the defendant to help ensure accountability and adherence to court dates. If the defendant fails to appear, the indemnitor may also face consequences, including potential legal actions from the bail bond company and difficulties in recovering the bail amount. Call us and we can walk you through the bail bonds process to release your loved one.
