When bail is high, collateral is often required to secure a bond. Understanding what is accepted and how it is handled can help keep the process clear and less stressful.
Acceptable Forms of Collateral
-
Vehicles with titles
-
Real estate deeds
-
Cash or certified funds
-
Valuable personal property
When Collateral Is Returned
If the defendant attends all court appearances and meets all bond conditions, collateral is returned once the case concludes.
If the bond is forfeited, collateral may be used to cover costs owed to the court.
