Mosheim Bail Bonds, Greene County, Tennessee

Can a Cosigner Revoke a Bail Bond in Mosheim, Tennessee?

In most cases, the bail bonds agency is happy to work with a client provided that the client is able to find someone who is willing to co-sign for them. It’s important to note that depending on the client’s financial situation, the cosigner may not have to pay any money to the bail bonds agency. They may simply have to sign a contract that promises that they assume responsibility for the client while they are out on bail.

If the client doesn’t have the financial resources to handle the bail bond agency’s 10% fee or if they don’t have anything to use as collateral, the cosigner will have to assume those responsibilities. This is why it’s so important for cosigners to give themselves enough time to decide if they are comfortable filling the shoes of a cosigner for a bail bond.

Cosigners need to be prepared to show the following:

• A valid U.S. ID
• Proof of employment (pay stubs)
• Proof of ownership if they are providing collateral

One of the questions we frequently get when a potential cosigner contacts us for a free consultation is whether they have the right to revoke their loved one’s bail.

The problem is that there isn’t a simple answer. The best way we can respond is that in some situations, the cosigner can opt to have the bail revoked, but the exact circumstances under which that would be allowed not only varies from one bail bonds agency to the next but also from one client to the next.

Some circumstances where a cosigner could justify revoking bail could include the following:

• They learn that their loved one plans on fleeing the country before their next hearing
• The cosigner’s life has just gone through an extremely difficult life change
• The client refuses to follow the terms of their bail agreement
• The client is a potential danger to themselves and/or to others.
