If you need
to have a bond written for someone who is in another city or state, we can
help. A Transfer Bond allows you to post the bond with a local bail agent
and have it posted at the jail where the individual is being held.
Bail One National Bonding has the ability and "Bail
Bond Agent" connections to have a bail bond written in most, if not all
counties throughout the entire United States. When a client has the need
to have a bond written for a person that is out of our jurisdiction, we then
negotiate what is commonly referred to as a "Transfer Bond".
The term Transfer Bond confuses most people when they are not familiar with the
Bail Bond process. However, our Bail One National Bonding is very well
versed in this area and can explain the process easily when the need
arises. Our office makes all of the necessary phone calls and contacts on
behalf of the prospective client, as well as the person that has been
arrested elsewhere in The country. We do like for our client(s) to be
aware that when it does become necessary for our office to arrange a Transfer
Bond; in most, if not all of these situations it will cost more than the
standard 10% bond fee or premium in order to have the bond posted for the
person that is in jail. Let me explain why.
When a local Bail Agent negotiates and arranges for
a Transfer Bond to be written, the local agent will work in conjunction
with their respective Insurance Company and utilize the services of a
Bail Agent in the jurisdiction where the person is in custody. In doing
this, the agent that will actually go write the bond at the request of the
local agent will charge what is referred to as a "Transfer Bond Execution
Fee". This fee can range from $100 to $250 and is set and regulated
by the state of Mississippi. In addition, to the execution fee, IF the
agent has to travel outside of their immediate jurisdiction to write the
bond, they may also charge a "Travel Fee" in addition to the
"Execution Fee" and the travel fee may vary depending on how far the
agent must travel and the time required to do so. The local Bail
Agent is still only permitted by law to charge the standard 10% percent bail
bond fee or premium for writing the bond. However, the
additional fees that are charged by the executing agent may and should be
charged to the client. It is also very important to remember that
the local Bail Agent that requests that the bond be written on the client’s
behalf bears the financial responsibility for the bond being
written. The Transfer Agent that actually writes the bond is
commonly referred to as the "Executing Agent" only and bears no
financial responsibility if and when the defendant fails to appear in
court. Therefore, it’s also very important to make sure that if a
client requests that a transfer bond be written elsewhere in the
country, the client(s) has the ability to make absolutely certain that the
defendant meets all of their required court appearances in the very same manner
as if the bond was written locally. If a transfer bond is forfeited or
estreated in another county, it can become quite financially expensive to
resolve the matter, whereby the Co-Signer or Indemnitor on the bond can and
will be held responsible for these costs and fees.
