New York FOR-2013-107 Forfeiture Collateral in Lieu of Appearance, 5-23-13.pdf is a document issued by the New York State Office of the Attorney General to provide an alternative to the traditional court appearance by allowing individuals to post a bond or other form of collateral in lieu of appearing in court. It is used as security against potential court costs and fines associated with a criminal case. This document contains two types of FOR-2013-107 Forfeiture Collateral in Lieu of Appearance documents: Forfeiture Bond and Forfeiture Collateral Agreement. The Forfeiture Bond is a document which requires the individual to post a bond in the amount of the forfeiture to the court. The Forfeiture Collateral Agreement is a document which requires the individual to provide a form of collateral (such as property or other assets) to the court. Both documents are used to guarantee the individual will appear in court and pay the court costs and fines if found liable.
