When A Family Member Or Friend Can't Afford Bail

When a judge grants bail, there are usually conditions. There can be a type of personal bond, which is also called being released on a person's own recognizance. This is like the defendant offering a personal guarantee that they'll re-appear before the judge when asked, with additional criminal charges if they don't. And then there's bail, which is like a financial guarantee. If you have a family member or friend who needs bail and can't afford it (and you or nobody else is able to help), is it worthwhile talking to a bail bondsman for them?

About Me

Prevent Fighting After Your Death With Estate Planning

When my father-in-law passed away and it was revealed that he did not have a will, I knew things would get messy fast. Two of my sister-in-laws hate each other and I knew they would fight over belongings, money and property. Much to my dismay, I was correct. My father-in-laws estate is now tied up in litigation, which has taken a toll on our entire family. While I wish my father-in-law was still here, I also wish that he had spoken to an estate planning attorney while he was alive and prevented this whole situation. If you have items that may make things hard on your loved ones after your death, please consult with an estate planning attorney and have your wishes known so no family has to go through what we are.
