Legal analysis: Yes, you must be present. Being present is to prove the fact of the guarantee, and the guarantor knows the fact and agrees to bear the corresponding responsibility. Otherwise, there is no way to prove the facts of the guarantor, and the law will not admit it. Once something happens, the guarantor will not bear the responsibility. The loan guarantor must sign on the spot. If the guarantor is a company, it shall be stamped with the company seal or signed by the legal representative. The loan guarantor establishes a guarantee contract relationship with the lender. The guarantor does not sign the guarantee contract or the guarantor in the loan contract, and the guarantor and the lender do not establish a guarantee contract relationship, so there is no guarantee responsibility. Therefore, as a guarantor, you must sign the agreement on the spot, which is the most basic condition for fulfilling the guarantor's obligations.
