HOW DOES A NEBBIA WORK?
Bail Set: A judge sets a bail amount with a Nebbia condition attached.
Proof of Funds: The Indemnitor/ Cosigner must present evidence of the bond source requirement. Examples include three months of bank statements, an affidavit from the bondsman and Indemnitor, executed contract and payment receipt from the Bondsman.
Hearing: The court reviews the documentation in a Nebbia hearing. If satisfied, the judge satisfies the Nebbia hold, and the defendant can be released after posting bail.
Failure to Prove: If the prosecutor and Judge is not convinced the funds are legitimate, the defendant may remain in custody.
WHAT ARE THE ACCEPTED FORMS OF PAYMENT FOR NEBBIA BONDS.
In Florida, cash is not an accepted form of payment for Nebbia bonds. The following forms of payment are accepted:
Cashier’s Check: For a Nebbia requirement, a cashier’s check from a bank would be acceptable. Since cash is not accepted, the cashier’s check serves as a secure, guaranteed form of payment, which is often required in legal and financial transactions like these. Be sure the check includes all relevant details, such as the correct payee and amount, to ensure it fulfills the requirement.
Money Order: A money order from a bank can be an acceptable form of payment for Nebbia bond requirements, as long as it is not cash. You may need to ensure it is issued properly by the bank and meets any specific criteria set for Nebbia bonds, such as including the necessary information and being made out to the correct recipient.
Wire Transfer: Funds sent directly from a bank to the specified account of the bonding agency. Wire transfers are generally accepted for Nebbia bonds. The payment must align with the bondsman’s accepted form of payment since cash payments are not allowed for Nebbia bonds. Ensure the wire transfer is documented thoroughly to meet Nebbia conditions, which often require proof of the payment source to confirm it is legitimate and free of illegal funds.
Credit/Debit Card: Credit and debit cards are acceptable forms of payment for a Nebbia bond as long as you can provide documentation showing the payment originated from your account. This is necessary to satisfy the Nebbia requirements by proving the source of the funds is legitimate.
