Absolute Special Guaranty of Payment of Obligation is a type of guarantee that is typically used in commercial transactions. It is a legally binding agreement between a guarantor and a creditor, where the guarantor promises to unconditionally pay off a debt should the borrower fail to do so. This guarantee is considered to be absolute since the guarantor is obligated to pay the debt regardless of any circumstances that may arise. There are two main types of Absolute Special Guaranty of Payment of Obligation: primary and secondary. A primary guarantee is when the guarantor agrees to pay the debt without the creditor having to take any additional action. A secondary guarantee is when the creditor is required to take action, such as filing a claim against the guarantor, before the guarantor is obligated to pay the debt.
