Re: Release of a guarantor
1. Most likely, although the specific language of the guaranty may give the guarantor a loophole.
2. Depends upon the language of the guaranty as to whether it survives changes in the obligation. Most do.
3. You have to do your own legal research, or pay someone to do it for you. We just provide general information, not legal advice.
