A Guaranty Agreement is an agreement whereby loan or a debt of an individual is "guaranteed" by someone else. In other words, the party "guaranteeing" the loan or debt is agreeing to pay the amount owed if the person taking out the loan or debt defaults, or doesn't pay. In a Guaranty Agreement, only one party is signing the actual document, the guarantor, but the agreement is made among three parties: the creditor, who is extending credit, the debtor, who is taking out the debt or loan, and the guarantor, who is the party guaranteeing the money.
Guaranty Agreements are often quite simple and only need to contain the basic information between the parties: their identities, their contact information, what debt is being guaranteed and the additional terms surrounding that debt.
