An indemnitor has no standing as fare as the bond is concerned. His main responsibility is to guarantee that the defendant will appear in court and if that individual does not appear the indemnitor will then become the primary guarantor for the face value of the bond. If the indemnitor wants to withdraw from such responsibility he could contact the bail agency and request to be removed as guarantor on the bond. The bail agency at that point can choose to revoke the bond since the indemnitor is no longer willing take responsibility. The indemnitor will have to pay the cost involved with surrendering the defendant. What you need to remember is that the indemnitor is like the collateral on the bond if such collateral doesn't exists then the bond agency has no choice but to revoke the bond.

How can an indemnitor withdraw a bail bond?
If you are an indemnitor and want to withdraw from a bail bond I would read your indemnitor agreement contract very carefully so you understand your agreement.In almost all cases you will be required to, in writing, request to be removed as indemnitor of a bail bond and send this certified to your bail bond agent. Be forewarned though, in many agreements you will be required to compensate the bail agent and his team for their time in apprehending the defendant.In a lot of cases you must put down an expected deposit before they even begin and they will itemize all expenses to be paid by you once the defendant is returned to the custody of the courts.Many agreements which I have seen charge $150 per person plus expenses (mileage, hotel, food). A 3 man team (minimum) will rack up at $450 an hour. Your cooperation in locating the defendant for the bail agent will go a long way but still expect to be asked for a deposit and the remainder of the money before they return the defendant to the courts.
Can a bondsman revoke a bond for no reason?
A bail bondsman can ask the court to revoke a bond, but the judge alone has the final say whether a bail bond may be revoked.
Can a bail bondsman revoke your bond after you have been sentenced?
Yes. He put his moneyup for you, didn't he? In simple terms you 'rented' his money for your cash bond, for which he is entitled to payment for the length of time he had it 'at risk.'
How do you reinstate a bail?
This depends on how the bail was handled. If a Bondsperson decided to revoke (surrender) your bail, you can bail out via another Bondsperson. If a Judge denied bail only he or another Judge can reinstate it. You need to file a motion for change of bond conditions or motion for bond reduction.
What does bond revoke mean?
Bond revoke refers to the termination of a defendant's bail bond, typically due to a violation of the conditions set by the court. When a bond is revoked, the defendant is often taken back into custody until their next court appearance.
Is the person who hires a bail bondsman responsible for the whole bail amount if the defendant fails their obligation?
When a Bail Bond Company writes a bond, they are responsible for the bond amount if the defendant fails to appear. The indemnitor (person who gives collateral for the bond) is responsible to the extent that they will lose whatever they gave the bondsman for collateral if the bond is forfeited. That is why bond agencies try to find the defendant and bring him to jail before the bond forfeiture hearing, so they do not have to pay the courts the amount of the bond. Bond companies pay the courts in CASH regardless of what type of collateral was used for the bond.
Who can revoke bail?
A bail bondsman picks up the prisoner and drives him to the bail bond office. When is revoked and the defendent is sent back to jail, the bond fee has to be paid due to the defendants violations of the stipulations in the contract of the bond or due to engaging in illegal activities while out on bond.
How long can a judge revoke bail for?
The length of time for which a judge can revoke bail varies depending on the jurisdiction and the specific circumstances of the case. In some cases, a judge may immediately revoke bail upon a violation, while in others, a hearing may be required. Ultimately, it is at the judge's discretion to determine the appropriate length of time for revoking bail.
What happens if you sign for someone to get out of jail and then they revoke their bond?
If someone you signed for to get out of jail decides to revoke their bond, it typically means they are choosing to return to custody or are unable to meet the conditions of their release. As the signer, you may lose the bond amount you posted, and you could also be held financially responsible for any additional costs incurred by the bail bond company. Additionally, the individual may face legal consequences for their decision to revoke the bond. It's essential to consult with a legal professional for specific guidance in such situations.
Can a family member revoke my bail if she recently posted bail for me to get out of jail and is now upset with me for other reasons?
Yes, only if she was the cosigner. And if she was, then she can revoke the bond. The person who posts the bail is usually the co-signer on the bond. That person, in this case your family member. He/she can at any time change their mind and pull out of the bond. She can request to have you placed back into custody if she feels or claims that you will not show up at your next court date. Also, since your family member put up collateral on your behalf to get you out of jail, she probably doesn't want to risk her property for someone she is upset with. Best of luck to you! Hopefully you guys can work things out.
Who pays a bail bondsman?
Most of the time the indemnitor pays the bail bondsman. Here's how it works. Someone is arrested. Say for domestic violence. This is a very popular charge in California and the bail is usually $20,000 or $50,000. $20,000 if its a normal verbal fight with maybe a push or just verbal threats. $50,000 if there are marks such as bruises or scrapes. The cost of the bail bond goes up when there is more damage or multiple offenses over time. So we'll deal with the $20,000 domestic violence charge. The bail bonds is now $20,000, the defendant is in jail awaiting their court date. The defendant now has two choices. 1. Wait in jail until their court date. 2. Bail themself out. Normally the defendant bail's them self out by calling a friend or family member and the friend or family member calls a bail bonds company. This is where you find out who is paying the bail bondsman. When the friend or family member receives a call from the defendant, they call a bail bondsman and tell them what happened. The bail bondsman looks up the charges and the cost of the bail bonds in the computer. For this example its $20,000. A bail bondsman is regulated by the California Department of Insurance and is told to take 10% of the overall bail bond cost for their premium. This would then be $2000. At this point the friend pays the bail bondsman and signs for their responsibility also. Meaning, the signor or indemnitor is stating that they will be responsible for the defendant to go to all of their court dates until the case is over. After the defendant get's bailed out, the defendant usually pays back the indemnitor for helping them out. Only in rare scenarios does the defendant actually bail themself out and pay for their own bail bonds. For more information: visit http://www.shbailbonds.com
