Describe the distinction between a surety and a guarantor.

What will be an ideal response?


A surety is a person who is liable for the payment of another person's debt or for the performance of another person's duty. The surety joins with the person who is primarily liable in promising to make the payment or to perform the duty. A guarantor does not join in making a promise; rather, a guarantor makes a separate promise and agrees to be liable on the happening of a certain event.
