                                 DIVISION   II. SURETYSHIP

                          CHAPTER 5. SURETY AND CREDITOR

§ 124. Non-Disclosure by Creditor

W.V.App.2023.  Cit. in case cit. in ftn. Trust, as guarantor of borrower's loan under a promissory note,
and limited-liability company that trust created to purchase the note from lender's successor using trust
funds, sued co-guarantor for breach of contract after borrower defaulted on the note and co-guarantor
refused to honor the guaranty. After two additional co-guarantors settled with trust and company, the
trial court found co-guarantor and trust were equally liable for the unpaid balance of the borrower's
loan. This court affirmed, adopting the approach set forth in Restatement Third of Suretyship and
Guaranty § 57, and holding that the trust and co-guarantor were equally liable for the unpaid balance on
borrower's loan, given that there was no express or implied agreement to the contrary. The court noted

suretyship and had adopted Restatement First of Security § 124. PITA, LLC v. Segal, 894 S.E.2d 379,
402.

promissory note, and limited-liability company that trust created to purchase the note from lender's
successor using trust funds, sued co-guarantor for breach of contract after borrower defaulted on the note
and co-guarantor refused to honor the guaranty. After two additional sureties settled with trust and
company, the trial court found that co-guarantor and trust were equally liable for the unpaid balance of
borrower's loan, given that there was no express or implied agreement to the contrary. Affirming, this
court adopted the approach set forth in Restatement Third of Suretyship and Guaranty § 57, noting that it
modified and simplified the rule set forth in Restatement First of Security § 154, which automatically
