Bank loan default - guarantor primary house - co-owned

Hi,

Person A took a business loan from a bank and Person B is a gurantor for the loan. Person B had mortgaged his primary residence and provided gurantee for Person A's business. Person B doesn't partner with Person A on the business anymore (the last loan the guarantor signed on was 5 years ago). Person A has defaulted now and cannot keep upto the loan requirements. 

Person B's primary residence is co-owned by Person C, D and E and C,D and E had given power of attorney for the house to Person B. Now, if the bank comes after the Person B's (as well as C, D and E since it is co-owned) house, is the bank required to keep only 1/4th of the house sale price and do person's C, D and E claim the remaining 3/4th? Does the co-ownership prevent the bank from seizing this asset?

Can Person B avoid getting his assets seized by the bank?

Thanks

Was the guarantee given by B only in his personal capacity or as the capacity of POA for C, D, & Eas well?

Seek same information under RTI from the bank, as to the responsibility and share of guarantor in default and individual liabilities, as it all depends on documents executed and the conditions stipulated in Mortgage.  Even without RTI, any guarantor can seek such information, and the Guarantor receives such legal notice from Bank on default and proposed action and there is a lot of procedure to be adopted including public advertisement on such taking possession etc., after notice.

If C, D and E are neither party to the loan nor are guarantors they have no liability in so far as the loan and the bank cannot seize the property.

As property is mortagaged Bank will definate proceed against the mortgaged property. Further bank will recover as per mortgaged deed ratio by realising the mortgaged property.

Why would bank accept such a property as mortgage if it use it to recover their money? Or did Person B (even with Power of attorney) did not have the right to mortgage the property?

Makes sense, so Person C, D and E have essentially no control over the bank's action on the property to recover its dues?

The creditor will have a charge on all that owned by B including his salary, if he is drawing salary from any source.
