Being asked to sign a guarantee or mortgage — often for a family member's or a business's loan — the lender usually requires a solicitor's certificate confirming you understood it. We provide these quickly, clearly and at a fixed fee.
Part of our Conveyancing practice.
We review the guarantee or mortgage and the loan you're being asked to support.
We make sure you genuinely understand what you're signing and what could go wrong.
If you're happy to proceed, we provide the certificate the lender requires.
A certificate from an independent lawyer confirming you received independent legal advice before signing a guarantee or mortgage. Lenders require it so the document can't later be challenged.
Because you may be putting your own assets on the line for someone else's loan. The advice makes sure you understand the risk — and protects the lender's paperwork.
Usually quick — often a single appointment once we have the documents. We offer a fixed fee so you know the cost up front.
You should understand it fully. A guarantee can make you personally liable for someone else's debt — that's exactly what the advice is for.
Book a consultation or take the free claim check — we'll tell you where you stand and what to do next.
Leave your name and number — we call you straight back, usually within 2 minutes (8am–8pm), to understand your situation and book you in with the right lawyer. No cost, no obligation. Outside those hours we'll text you and call first thing.
We meet clients online right across Victoria — or in person at 911 High Street, Reservoir VIC 3073.
