Dear Sir / Madam,

All the assets and property of the guarantor can be attached for recovery of the outstanding loan guaranteed for repayment. The Gift Deed made my the husband will be deemed null and void in the eyes of law. This is simply done because the guarantor or surety can easily collude with the original borrower to avoid repayment of the borrowings.

The husband who has stood surety should tell the borrower to immediately repay and settle outstanding dues to avoid the guarantor's / surety's assets being "attached" for recovery by the Bank.
