Promissory Note Guaranty

A promissory note guaranty may serve as added security to guarantee a personal loan. The third party who signs as guarantor then assumes full responsibility for the loan, should the original borrower(s) default.

An alternative would be to list the guarantor as co-borrower or co-signor on the promissory note itself, where all parties signing the Note can be held jointly and severally responsible.

The Guaranty template on this page is for a specified loan amount, as opposed to guaranteeing an ongoing credit facility.

You could also secure a loan by offering property or goods as collateral. The applicable document for that is a Security Agreement which you can also download for free from our site.

A promissory note guaranty cannot be canceled, assigned or terminated by the guarantor until all debt has been paid in full. A release of guaranty should be issued by the lender upon full and final settlement.
