What is Co-Surety?

Answer 1

Usually one surety company can take the risk but sometimes the risk is so large that more than one surety might be required by the obligee (the entity requiring the bond) or let's say I furnish a surety bond for a minor's estate and the estate grows in value and the first surety either cannot or does not want to provide another bond. In that case I am confident the obligee would accept a bond from another surety company.
