Typically, promissory notes are securities.
In the context of securitisation, a promissory note is a type of debt security that is used to represent the underlying assets in a securitisation. The promissory notes are typically issued by a special purpose vehicle (SPV) that is created to hold the underlying assets.
Types of Promissory Notes - Secured or Unsecured A Promissory Note may be secured or unsecured. In case of a secured note, the borrower will be required to provide a collateral such as property, goods, services, etc., in the event that they fail to repay the borrowed amount.
Debt securities: are typically financial securities which establish ownership and represent borrowings that must be repaid by the issuer. include negotiable instruments such as bonds, bills of exchange, promissory notes and share certificates which are traded in financial markets.
Most promissory notes must be registered as securities with the SEC and the states in which they're being sold. But remember that some promissory notes, such as those that have nine-month or shorter terms, may be “exempt.” That means that they don't have to be registered.
A simple promissory note might be for a lump sum repayment on a certain date. For example, let's say you lend your friend $1,000 and he agrees to repay you by December 1st. The full amount is due on that date, and there is no payment schedule involved.
In addition, if the promissory note contains unclear or ambiguous clauses, or unfair terms, the note might be deemed invalid. An unfair term might be if the note includes an interest rate of 25% but your state only allows for a 15% interest rate.
Secured promissory notes The property that secures a note is called collateral, which can be either real estate or personal property. 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 you lost your mortgage note copy, request another one from your mortgage lender or servicer. Some lenders require you to make this request in writing. You could also try to retrieve a copy through your local recording office.
