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.
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.
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.
General Definition. Promissory notes are defined as securities under the Securities Act. However, notes that have a maturity of nine months or less are not considered securities.
There is no legal requirement for promissory notes to be witnessed or notarized in New Mexico. Still, the parties may decide to have the document certified by a notary public for protection in the event of a lawsuit.
A security interest arising out of a sale of a promissory note (i.e., an instrument) is perfected automatically, without additional action, when it attaches. See Section 9-304(4) of the Uniform Commercial Code.
A Promissory Note may be secured or unsecured. In case of a secured note, the borrower will be required to provide a collateral such as property, goods, services, etc., in the event that they fail to repay the borrowed amount.
A secured promissory note may include a security agreement as part of its terms. If a security agreement lists a business property as collateral, the lender might file a UCC-1 statement to serve as a lien on the property. A security agreement mitigates the default risk faced by the lender.
