(2) A Mortgage As a Fixture Filing Notably, a mortgage filed in lieu of a UCC-1 may be effective for a much longer period of time than a UCC-1. While a UCC-1 filing expires after five years unless extended, a mortgage is good until released, which obviously can be far longer than five years.

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.

3 termination statement (a Termination) is a required filing that terminates a security interest that has been perfected by a UCC1 filing. A Termination for personal property is accomplished by completing and filing form UCC3 with the Secretary of States office in the appropriate state.

A purportedly terminated financing statement can be amended, assigned, or even continued. If continued, the record will remain active for another five years.
