Co-signing: What You Need to Know Part Two

There is never a convenient time for an arrest!  It’s unlikely any plans to be arrested or happens to have the funds set aside to post bail.  So what happens when a friend or loved one asks you to be a co-signer for their bail?  In our previous posts we looked at the risks involved with cosigning a friends bail.  In today’s post we’re go to take a closer look at the benefits involved and how your help can make a difference.

Co-signing: What You Need to Know

• The Benefits

While it’s important to take the risks into account you should also consider the benefits.  When it comes to getting a friend or loved one released from jail having them released quickly is important.  Previously we discussed the psychological and physical effects of being released quickly.  That should be taken into account when considering co-signing for someone.  Another reason why co-signing for someone can be a benefit is that it helps them build their case.  In jail defendants have limited or no access to things we take for granted like internet and phone access.  Because of this it can be difficult for them to build a strong defense for their case.  Helping someone get released from jail can make a difference in their wellbeing.
