Guarantor Legal Advice
Alfred Hill & Partners provides independent legal advice to clients who have been asked to sign a guarantee, loan document, mortgage document or security arrangement.
Signing a guarantee can create serious personal and financial exposure. A guarantor may become responsible for another person’s or business’s debt, even where the guarantor does not receive the loan funds or control how the borrower manages the obligation.
We review the documents, explain the legal effect of the guarantee and help the guarantor understand the risk before signing.
