How Does an Alabama Indemnity to Sheriff Bond Work?
An Alabama indemnity to sheriff bond creates a legal contract between these three parties:
- Principal: You, the plaintiff filing the bond
- Obligee: The district court requiring the bond
- Surety: The provider issuing the bond
This holds plaintiffs liable for their decisions and protects law enforcement officers from damages related to the seizure of property.
Harmed parties can file claims on the bond. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you must ultimately refund the surety.
