# Manage a guarantor

> Learn how to accept, contract, and remove a guarantor.

After a guarantor has been added to an application, you manage them from the guarantor page. From here you can review their details, accept them, generate their contract, or remove them.

## Guarantor statuses

A guarantor's status updates as they progress through onboarding:

* **Pending approval**: The guarantor has provided their details and is awaiting your approval.
* **Awaiting signature**: The guarantor's contract has been generated and is waiting to be signed.
* **Accepted**: The guarantor has signed their contract.
* **Complete**: The guarantor is complete and the application can progress.

## Accepting a guarantor

When a guarantor is pending approval, you have two options from the guarantor page:

* **Generate**: Accept the guarantor and generate their contract. Select a **guarantor contract template**, then choose whether to **Send contract to guarantor** — when enabled, the guarantor is emailed a link to review and sign. Once they have signed, the guarantor becomes `Accepted`.
* **Complete**: Mark the guarantor as complete without generating a contract. Use this when no guarantor contract is required. This advances the application accordingly.

If you accepted a guarantor but chose not to send the contract immediately, you can produce it later using **Generate contract**.

## Editing a guarantor

To update a guarantor's details, open the guarantor page and click the edit (pencil) icon. You can edit a guarantor up until their contract is pending signature, accepted, or complete.

## Removing a guarantor

To remove a guarantor, open the guarantor page and click the remove (bin) icon, or use **Remove guarantor** from the applicant's overflow menu (•••) on the application. A guarantor can be removed at any point before they are complete.

<Warning>
  Removing a guarantor cannot be undone. If the guarantor was required for the applicant, you will need to add a new guarantor before the application can progress.
