In addition, if the promissory note contains unclear or ambiguous clauses, or unfair terms, the note might be deemed invalid. An unfair term might be if the note includes an interest rate of 25% but your state only allows for a 15% interest rate.
ANSWER: Be very careful. A promissory note does not create a lien. You need a proper deed of trust (a security agreement similar to a mortgage) that is signed by the borrower and is notarized. You could then record the deed of trust with the recorder's office in the county where the property is located.
Securing a promissory note with real estate involves outlining the property as collateral in the document. This process includes detailing the property's description and ensuring all legal requirements are met to enforce the security interest.
A promissory note secured by collateral will need a second document. If the collateral is real property, there will be either a mortgage or a deed of trust. If the collateral is personal property, there will be a security agreement.
