California Codes, Civil Code - CIV, Division 3 — Obligations, Part 4 — Obligations Arising from Particular Transactions, Title 13 — Suretyship, Article 1 — Definition of Suretyship, Section 2788
A person may become surety even without the knowledge or consent of the principal.
Notes
Allows a person to become a surety without the principal knowing about or consenting to the suretyship. The principal’s knowledge or consent is therefore not required for the person to assume the status of surety, and the suretyship may arise even though the principal did not authorize or know of it.
