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.
Date. The promissory note should include the date it was created at the top of the page. Amount. Loan terms. Interest rate. Collateral. Lender and borrower information. Signatures.
A promissory note basically includes the name of both parties (lender and borrower), date of the loan, the amount, the date the loan will be repaid in full, frequency of loan payments, the interest rate charged on the loan payments, and any security agreement.
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.
The first step in enforcing an unsecured promissory note is to file a petition with the courts and get a judgment in your favor. Although this is a powerful legal enforcement of your rights under the promissory note, it does not in and of itself guarantee repayment of the note.
Keep the original promissory note. Once a lender executes a promissory note, he keeps the original of the promissory note. Accept full payment of the loan. Mark paid in full on the promissory note. Place a signature beside the paid in full notation. Mail the original promissory note 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.
