Mr. Corleone's son Michael asked his father to accompany him to the local branch of his bank in order to sign a guarantee to secure a bank loan for him. When they arrived at the bank, Michael and his father were presented with the documentation. Michael did not read the document to his father, nor did he explain to him what he was signing. His father did not ask his son any questions or seek any clarification. He quickly signed the document without looking at it. Several months later, Michael has defaulted on the loan and Mr. Corleone has received a demand for payment from his son's bank. He is understandably very upset and has asked you for advice.
