What is meant by the term "Co-sureties"?

Individuals acting alone on a bond
Two or more sureties to the same obligation
A single party providing collateral for a bond
Insurance companies guaranteeing a bond

The correct answer is: Two or more sureties to the same obligation

The term "Co-sureties" refers to the involvement of two or more sureties who collectively take on the obligation to ensure that a bond is fulfilled. This means that in situations where the risk associated with a bond might be too significant for one surety to undertake alone, multiple sureties may come together to share the responsibility. Each co-surety independently underwrites part of the risk and is equally liable for the total obligation in the event of a default. This arrangement allows for a greater distribution of risk among the participating parties, enhancing the financial security of the bond issuance. In other contexts where individuals act alone or when a single party provides collateral, the collective nature of co-sureties is not present, highlighting the collaborative aspect that characterizes this term.
