The Personal Guaranty The most common type of contract that obligates an owner of a company to pay the company&#8217;s debts is called a &#8220;guaranty&#8221; or &#8220;personal guaranty.&#8221;\u00a0 A guaranty is a contract by which the signer\/guarantor promises to pay or satisfy the debt of another person (the company).\u00a0 Guaranties are frequently required by landlords and lenders who know that if the company doesn&#8217;t pay, the debt will never be paid.\u00a0 Arizona law provides that if only one spouse signs a guaranty, then the debt cannot be collected from the community property of the guarantor and his or her spouse. Contracts that Create Personal Liability Owners and employees of a company can create contractual personal liability for themselves if they sign a contract on behalf of the company, but the wording of the contract does not make it clear that the signer is signing on behalf of a company.\u00a0 The Arizona LLC Quick Start Guide that I give every LLC that I form contains actual examples of the exact language that should be used in contracts to prevent the signer from inadvertently becoming personally liable to pay the company&#8217;s debt created under the contract.
