Buenas tardes a todos:
Estoy traduciendo un poder y no sé cómo traducir el término "confiadores":
"pudiendo incluso obligar u obligarse solidariamente con el deudor o los deudores principales y con otro u otros *confiadores*"
No encuentro la definición en castellano, así que me está resultando muy complicado encontrar la traducción correcta.
¿Alguna idea, comentario o sugerencia?
Muchas gracias de antemano por vuestra ayuda. ;)

co-guarantor/co-surety
I'm almost certain it's a typo or OCR error for co-fiador.

joint guarantor
I didn't find it in Spanish in this context, but found this Portuguese reference that makes sense....

Billh
: No, joint would be wrong here. This is precisely describes the nature of the liablitity with the other guarantor - joint presuposes joint liabilty which it clearly need not be.

trustworthy person
the word confiador as such does not seem to exist in Spanish; I would suggest translating it as trustworthy or reliable Person.

co-surety, co-guarantor
This looks to be a typo. I think the original should read "cofiadores." And I think "surety" is preferable to "guarantor" because the sentence would suggest that the liability for the "confiadores" begins with that of the principal(s), whereas a guarantor's liability begins after a principal is in default, at least according to Black's. This might be splitting hairs a bit, and further context might reveal which is better, "co-surety" or "co-guarantor."
Regarding the prefix, "co-surety" and "co-guarantor" maintain the use of the prefix co-. and "joint" is quite often expressed using "solidario"/"solidariamente"
