Legal Question in Criminal Law in Ohio
Bail bonds
My husband got a bail bond and used our house as security. He died before the trial happened. Now the bondsman is attempting to collect the bond from me. Can this be done? I thought that once there was no trial or person that the bond was voided. Thanks for your help.

Re: Bail bonds
Has the court been notified that your husband is deceased? Has the court been provided with a death certificate? are you sure the bondsman is not attempting to collect his fee, which he would be entitled to.

No. He has no right to collect the bond under the circumstances you describe.
