If a professional bail agent who acts as a personal surety agent dies, the personal representative of the estate may contract with licensed professional bail agents, soliciting bail agents or bail enforcement agents to assist him in managing and closing the business affairs of the professional bail agent. The licensed professional bail agent, soliciting bail agent or bail enforcement agent contracted by the personal representative may, on behalf of the personal representative, present defendants in court when required, assist in the apprehension and surrender of defendants to the court, or keep defendants under necessary surveillance. Nothing herein shall give the personal representative the authority to execute and sign bail bonds in connection with judicial proceedings. Laws, 2007, ch. 501, § 1; Laws, 2012, ch. 394, § 3, eff. 7/1/2012.
