AGREEMENT TO FORFEIT PROPERTY
(OTHER THAN REAL PROPERTY) TO OBTAIN A DEFENDANT’S RELEASE
To obtain the defendant’s release, we jointly and severally agree to forfeit the following cash or other property (other
than real property) to the United States of America if this defendant fails to appear as required for any court proceeding or
for the service of any sentence imposed as may be noticed or ordered by any court, or fails to comply with any conditions
of release set by the court considering this matter (describe the cash or other property and any claim, lien, security interest, or other
encumbrance on it):
Ownership. We declare under penalty of perjury that we are the sole owners of this property and that it is not
subject to any claim, lien, security interest, or other encumbrance except as disclosed above. We promise not to sell,
pledge, or otherwise encumber the property, or do anything to reduce its value while this agreement is in effect. We
deposit with the court the following ownership documents, including any encumbrance documents (list all documents and
submit as attachments):
Surety Information. We understand that the court and the United States of America will rely on the surety
information in approving this agreement.
Conditions of Release. We state that we have either read all court-ordered conditions of release imposed on the
defendant or had them explained to us.
Continuing Agreement. Unless the court orders otherwise, this agreement remains in effect during any appeal or
other review until the defendant has satisfied all court notices, orders, and conditions.
Exoneration of sureties. This agreement is satisfied and ends if the defendant is exonerated on all charges or, if
convicted, the defendant reports to serve any sentence imposed.
Forfeiture. If the defendant fails to obey all conditions of release, court notices, and orders to appear, the court
will immediately order the property forfeited and on motion of the United States of America may order a judgment of
forfeiture against the signing parties and their representatives, jointly and severally, including interest and costs.
