Illinois Qualification of The Principal and The Personal Sureties is an agreement between an individual or organization (the principal) and one or more individuals (the personal surety) guaranteeing the principal’s obligations. The agreement states that the personal surety is liable for the principal’s obligations up to a certain limit. It is used when the principal cannot or will not provide sufficient security for their obligations. There are two types of Illinois Qualification of The Principal and The Personal Sureties agreements: the “Single Surety” and the “Multiple Surety” agreement. The Single Surety agreement involves one individual or organization taking on the risk of the principal’s obligations. This type of agreement is the most common and is used when the principal does not have enough assets to secure their obligations. The Multiple Surety agreement involves multiple individuals or organizations taking on the risk of the principal’s obligations. This type of agreement is used when the principal’s liabilities exceed the single surety’s limit. It is also used when the principal’s assets are not sufficient to secure their obligations.
