Unlike a mortgage or deed of trust, the promissory note isn't recorded in the county land records. The lender holds the promissory note while the loan is outstanding. When the loan is paid off, the note is marked as "paid in full" and returned to the borrower.
In order for a promissory note to be valid, both the lender and the borrower must sign the documentation. If you are a co-signer for the loan, you are required to sign the promissory note. Being a co-signer requires you to repay the loan amount in the instance that the borrower defaults on payment.
To secure a promissory note means that you identify some specific property and attach it to the note. Then, if the borrower defaults on the loan, you will be able to repossess the collateral as compensation for the loan.
A simple promissory note might be for a lump sum repayment on a certain date. For example, you lend your friend $1,000 and he agrees to repay you by December 1. The full amount is due on that date, and there is no payment schedule involved.
Write the date of the writing of the promissory note at the top of the page. Write the amount of the note. Describe the note terms. Write the interest rate. State if the note is secured or unsecured. Include the names of both the lender and the borrower on the note, indicating which person is which.
Writing the Promissory Note Terms You don't have to write a promissory note from scratch. You can use a template or create a promissory note online.
