A personal guarantee should be signed by both spouses
Arizona is a community property state. What this means is that a married couple is considered one individual (the community) in the eyes of the law. In order for your personal guarantee to be valid against community property, it must be signed by both spouses. If it is not signed by both spouses, it will only be valid against the signatory’s sole and separate property. Most married folks do not have sole and separate property so without the spouse’s signature, your personal guarantee may not provide you with any added way to get paid. If the spouse won’t sign, consider my July 7th blog post.
