FAQ
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.

When a loan changes hands, the promissory note is endorsed (signed over) to the new owner of the loan. In some cases, the note is endorsed in blank which makes it a bearer instrument under Article 3 of the Uniform Commercial Code. So, any party that possesses the note has the legal authority to enforce it.
A promissory note can be secured with a pledge of collateral, which is something of value that can be seized if a borrower defaults.
The lender holds the promissory note while the loan is being repaid, then the note is marked as paid and returned to the borrower when the loan is satisfied. Promissory notes aren't the same as mortgages, but the two often go hand in hand when someone is buying a home.
What Is a Promissory Note? A promissory note is a financial instrument that contains a written promise by one party (the note's issuer or maker) to pay another party (the note's payee) a definite sum of money, either on demand or at a specified future date.
The individual who promises to pay is the maker, and the person to whom payment is promised is called the payee or holder. If signed by the maker, a promissory note is a negotiable instrument.
What is the difference between a Promissory Note and a Loan Agreement? Both contracts evidence a debt owed from the Borrower to the Lender, but the Loan Agreement contains more extensive clauses than the Promissory Note. Further, only the Borrower signs the promissory note while both parties sign a loan 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.
