Question 1:
This program will create the document indicated. Please be sure
that this is what you want to write before starting. You can
return to the main menu and select another module by pressing the
"escape" (Esc) key.
You have chosen the Personal Guarantee as the document that you
will be writing with the Personal Lawyer program at this time.
This is an agreement by an individual or a company to guarantee the
repayment to another person or company when that person or company
requires further security for the contract or note.
Question 2:
You can have one or two people sign the guarantee. When a married
couple is acting as the guarantor, then it is useful to have both
sign.
Question 3:
Please enter the full name of the individual or the company that is
to act as the guarantor.
Question 4:
Please enter the full name of the first person signing the
guarantee.
Question 5:
Please enter the full name of the second person signing the
guarantee.
Question 6:
This is the person for whom you are making the guarantee. It can
be an individual or a company.
Question 7:
This is the person or company who is accepting the guarantee and
who is making the loan to the person named in question #6.
Question 8:
A guarantee is usually for a sum of money. Please, therefore,
enter the total amount of the loan that is being guaranteed. You
needn't enter a "$" sign because it will automatically appear in
the document.
Question 9:
Please indicate if the money is going to be repaid in monthly
installments. The program will allow you to designate that a lump
sum will be paid if monthly payments are not appropriate.
Question 10:
Often a loan carries interest, and if so, you need to specify that
in the document so it is clear that the guarantor is not only
responsible for the principal but the interest as well.
Please enter down the percentage of interest to be charged. You
needn't put a "%" sign since one will automatically appear in the
document.
Question 12:
This question allows you to put in the date of when the money will
be due when it is to be paid in a lump sum.
Question 13:
Please enter in the amount of each payment. You needn't put a "$"
sign because it will automatically appear in the document.
Question 14:
This question will allow you to specify that there is to be a late
charge if a payment isn't made when due. The guarantor will
therefore be liable for the charge since it is in the agreement.
Question 15:
Please enter the amount of the late charge. You needn't put a "$"
sign because it will automatically appear in the document.
Question 16:
If there is to be a late charge, when is it to be assessed?
Question 17:
This allows for an acceleration clause in the guarantee. Such a
clause will allow that if a payment isn't made when due, the person
who is owed the money can call the entire amount due and therefore
sue on all of the principal that is owed. Please note that the
guarantor will also be liable under this agreement.
Question 18:
Some loans do not allow for the early payment of the loan without a
penalty. This ensures that the lending party gets some interest
even if the money is paid early. This question allows you to
specify that there won't be such a penalty.
Question 19:
It is often cheaper to arbitrate a dispute than to go to court to
resolve it. This clause allows you to specify that any problem
must be arbitrated rather than litigated in court. Arbitration is
available in all of the major cities in the United States and in
many rural areas, although before using this clause you might check
with an attorney in your area to make sure that some form of
arbitration is available.
Question 20:
In many states it is necessary to have a clause like this in a
contract to enable the prevailing party in a dispute to be
reimbursed for attorneys' fees. The cost of legal help is
becoming such that if you can't get fees from the other side if
the agreement is breached, then it could be too expensive to
proceed against them to enforce your rights. Thus, this kind of clause is often a very good idea. If you are not sure that you can
get fees in your state or territory without this clause, then it is
recommended.
Question 21:
The city or town that the agreement will be signed in needs to
be specified. If you are going to execute the agreement in a rural
area (not in a city or town) then use the name of the closest city
or town.
Question 22:
The state, territory or jurisdiction needs to be specified.
Question 23:
You can have the agreement notarized. This is necessary if the
agreement is going to be recorded.
Question 24:
If the agreement is to be notarized, the county or parish needs to
be specified if you live in one.
Question 25:
If the agreement is to be notarized, the county or parish needs to
be specified if you live in one.
Question 26:
The questions are now complete. You can go back to any question if
you wish by pressing "escape", or you can continue with the
program. Now that the questions are completed, the program will
allow you to preview the document, write it to a disk file for
editing further or print it. Note that it will be automatically
saved so you can review or print it later.
