2005 Montana Code Annotated - 25-15-201 — Discharge of one joint debtor.


     25-15-201. Discharge of one joint debtor. Any joint debtor, including a partner, may compromise with a creditor, and a discharge to him by such creditor is as effectual as if made to all debtors, but such discharge does not relieve the other joint debtors. Any creditor can release a judgment in his favor against any one or more joint debtors, and such release does not discharge the others.
