Anyone lending money (like home sellers, credit unions, mortgage lenders and banks, for instance) can issue a promissory note. But specific to real estate and the mortgage process, promissory notes serve as an agreement that the borrower will repay their mortgage loan by the maturity date.

A promissory note release is given to a borrower after the final payment on a loan to release them of all further liabilities and obligations. The borrower will commonly request this as part of accepting the final payment for the borrowed money and that they have paid back all principal and interest under the note.

Amendments to a promissory note may only be made with consent from the lender and will be considered binding by all parties involved. Amendments can be made for significant changes and should be done in a formal manner to minimize liability and confusion with the contract moving forward.

Promissory notes have a statute of limitations. Depending on which U.S. state you live in, a written loan agreement may expire 3?15 years after creation.

If the borrower does not repay you, your legal recourse could include repossessing any collateral the borrower put up against the note, sending the debt to a collection agency, selling the promissory note (so someone else can try to collect it), or filing a lawsuit against the borrower.

A promissory note is recorded as a liability. Depending on the terms of repayment, the promissory note could be listed on a balance sheet as a: short-term liability if the note is payable in full within 12 months. long-term liability if the full amount of the note is repayable in more than 12 months.
