What is required to post a bond through a bail agent?
A. Depending on the situation and the bond, sometimes all that is needed, especially if you own your own home, is a signature and information from the person bonding out the defendant. In most cases, needing a bond does not mean that a lien against your property is required. It depends on the size of the bond, the type of charge(s) and other factors. Sometimes, a good job, credit and established residency within the community can constitute collateral as well but collateral (cash can be used as collateral) can sometimes also be required.
