bail bonds collections

[blackboots]

I don't think that there is really much if anything I can do at this point. I co-signed (stupidly) for someone who skipped. It has gone to collections. The person I signed for is now deceased. I am just wondering if there is any way to have the bond paid, at least partially, through any assets they might have.

What State?
If the Jumpie is latter turned over to the court or can be proven deceased, then the bond should be released from the court.
Not sure if fees or interest would still be collectable by the bonding company.

What State?
If the Jumpie [sic] is "latter" (?) turned over to the court or can be proven deceased, then the bond should be released from the court. . . . .

With all respect due and owing what are you attempting to say here? That even though an order forfeiting the bond has become final that the surety can still recoup its money from the court upon proof that the defendant has since expired?

What do you mean by the adjective "latter"? Subsequent to what? And how much "latter" considering that everyone will eventually die. And why the waffling "should"? Do you mean that it is only a probability as to whether the surety will be reimbursed or the bond exonerated.

And if by "latter" you mean a period of time within any statutory grace period, tolling or extension of the order of forfeiture, what is your purpose in posting?

Again, it would very much matter what state we are in and what 'fee' we are talking about.

The bondsman fee (typically 10% of the bond amount) is always paid no matter what. It essentially is what you pay the bondsman for putting up his collateral. If your friend fails to pay that because he's dead or broke or actually convicted and sent away to jail, you still owe that money as the cosigner.

If you're talking about the actual pledged bail amount, it would matter when the person died. If he died before he was due to appear (or was in the process of dying), then the failure should be excused and the surety returned to the bondsman and there is nothing further to collect.

If you can provide the State, I'll be glad to produce your answers.
