UCC-1 filings do have a shelf life. Once filed, a UCC-1 Financial Statement is typically active for five years. It's common, of course, for the terms of a business loan to extend past that, so lenders need to remember to renew the UCC-1 filing at the first five year mark, and every five years thereafter.

The secured party may assign the rights to some portion or percentage of all the collateral covered by the initial UCC financing statement to another party. (A partial assignment.) The secured party may assign the rights of the 100% interest in a portion of the collateral to another party. (Also a partial assignment.)

The UCC's general rule is that a financing statement remains valid for a period of five years from the date of filing. Unless a continuation statement is properly filed before expiration of the five year period, the effectiveness of the financing statement will lapse.

UCC-3 is an amendment or ?continuation statement? that the owner files to renew the UCC-1 for another 5-year period. Unless a continuation statement is filed before the expiration of the UCC-1's 5-year period, the owner must file a new UCC-1.

Also known as a continuation statement. The amendment used to extend the effectiveness of a UCC-1 beyond the date which is five years after the date of its filing. The continuation statement should identify the initial UCC-1 to which it relates (UCC §9-102(a)(27)).

The filing is good for five years. The security interest can be continued for five more years by filing a UCC-3. You may also need the UCC-1 Addendum (PDF) or the UCC-1 Additional Party (PDF) form. This form is used to continue a security interest that is going to lapse at the end of five years.
