FAQ
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 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.
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.
A promissory note can become invalid if it excludes A) the total sum of money the borrower owes the lender (aka the amount of the note) or B) the number of payments due and the date each increment is due.
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.
Dated Signature: In Texas, both unsecured and secured promissory notes must be signed and dated by the borrower and any co-signer; the lender need not sign. There is no legal requirement for promissory notes to be witnessed or notarized in Texas.
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.
