What Are Elder Abuse Bail Bonds?
A plain-English breakdown of elder abuse charges under PC §368 — physical abuse, neglect, and financial abuse.
The Statute: Penal Code §368
PC §368 covers physical abuse, neglect, and financial abuse of anyone 65 years or older — a wobbler charge that prosecutors can file as a misdemeanor or a felony.
Felony Elder Abuse
Physical abuse under circumstances likely to produce great bodily injury or death is felony elder abuse, carrying state prison time — with added years if the victim is 70 or older.
Misdemeanor Elder Abuse
Lesser physical abuse, neglect, or endangerment without likely great bodily injury is typically filed as a misdemeanor, carrying up to a year in county jail.
Financial Elder Abuse Is Covered Too
PC §368 also covers theft, fraud, or undue influence targeting an elder's assets — charged by amount and circumstances, from misdemeanor to felony.
What A Elder Abuse Bail Bond Costs
| Total Bail | Standard 10% Premium | 1% Down | Remaining Financed Balance |
|---|---|---|---|
| $10,000 | $1,000 | $100 | $900 |
| $25,000 | $2,500 | $250 | $2,250 |
| $50,000 | $5,000 | $500 | $4,500 |
| $75,000 | $7,500 | $750 | $6,750 |
| $100,000 | $10,000 | $1,000 | $9,000 |
1% down is a qualification-based tier. The full 10% premium is set by California law. Felony filings involving injury, or a victim aged 70+, typically move a case to a 3%, 5%, or 10% tier.

Who Qualifies (And Who Doesn’t)
What Helps You Qualify
- Cosigner with verifiable income and stable employment
- Cosigner with a credit score generally 640 or higher for our lower tiers
- Misdemeanor filing or financial-abuse-only charge
- Local California address, no active out-of-state warrants
- No prior record
What Moves You Up A Tier
- No cosigner available and no verifiable credit or income
- Felony filing with documented injury
- Victim aged 70 or older
- Prior conviction or protective-order history
- Out-of-state defendant with no local ties
Lowest Tier
Cases Approved For 1% Down
These are the elder abuse profiles that land in our lowest down-payment tier. Hit most of these and 1% down is realistic.
Qualified Cosigner (700+)
Homeowner or verifiable equity, clean FTA history.
Cosigner Requirements
Underwriting
Cases At A Higher Tier
These factors move an elder abuse case out of the 1% tier. They don't make the bond impossible — they change the down payment.
Felony Filing With Injury
Physical abuse likely to cause great bodily injury is felony elder abuse.
Prior Conviction Or Protective-Order History
A prior record or existing protective order moves the case up a tier.
Prior FTA Or Bond Forfeiture
A history of missing court is the biggest underwriting red flag on any bond.
No Cosigner Or No Local Ties
Out-of-state defendant, no verifiable income, no cosigner available.
