A promissory note is a contract, a binding agreement that someone will pay your business a sum of money. However under some circumstances if the note has been altered, it wasn't correctly written, or if you don't have the right to claim the debt then, the contract becomes null and void.
In order for a promissory note to be valid, both the lender and the borrower must sign the documentation. If you are a co-signer for the loan, you are required to sign the promissory note. Being a co-signer requires you to repay the loan amount in the instance that the borrower defaults on payment.
