A Washington Personal Property Security Agreement (PSA) is a legal document that is used to create a security interest in personal property located in the state of Washington. The PSA is used to secure a debt by giving the creditor the right to take possession of the debtor's personal property in the event of default. The PSA is usually used by creditors when the debtor is unable to provide sufficient collateral for a loan. There are two types of Washington Personal Property Security Agreement: an Absolute Security Agreement and a Purchase Money Security Agreement. An Absolute Security Agreement is used when the debtor has already purchased the personal property and is using it as collateral for the loan. A Purchase Money Security Agreement is used when the creditor provides funds to purchase the personal property, and the debtor agrees to provide the creditor with a security interest in the personal property in exchange for the loan. The PSA is governed by Washington state law and must include certain information such as the name of the debtor and creditor, a description of the personal property, the amount of the debt and the terms of the agreement. The agreement must also be signed and notarized by both parties.
