Even if you have the original note, it may be void if it was not written correctly. If the person you're trying to collect from didn't sign it and yes, this happens the note is void. It may also become void if it failed some other law, for example, if it was charging an illegally high rate of interest.
Secured Promissory Notes The property that secures a note is called collateral, which can be either real estate or personal property. 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.
Generally, as long as the promissory note contains legally acceptable interest rates, the signatures of the two contracted parties, and are within the applicable Statute of Limitations, they can be upheld in a court of law.
There is no legal requirement for most promissory notes to be witnessed or notarized in Maryland (a promissory note that involves a mortgage, however, must be witnessed and notarized). Still, the parties may decide to have the document certified by a notary public for protection in the event of a lawsuit.
A promissory note must include the date of the loan, the dollar amount, the names of both parties, the rate of interest, any collateral involved, and the timeline for repayment. When this document is signed by the borrower, it becomes a legally binding contract.
Signatures. Generally, promissory notes do not need to be notarized. Typically, legally enforceable promissory notes must be signed by individuals and contain unconditional promises to pay specific amounts of money. Generally, they also state due dates for payment and an agreed-upon interest rate.
In general, promissory notes are used for more informal relationships than loan agreements. A promissory note can be used for friend and family loans, or short-term, small loans. Loan agreements, on the other hand, are used for everything from vehicles to mortgages to new business ventures.
Promissory notes are legally binding whether the note is secured by collateral or based only on the promise of repayment. If you lend money to someone who defaults on a promissory note and does not repay, you can legally possess any property that individual promised as collateral.
Generally, as long as the promissory note contains legally acceptable interest rates, the signatures of the two contracted parties, and are within the applicable Statute of Limitations, they can be upheld in a court of law.
