When a person or entity (“Lender”) loans money to another person or entity (“Borrower”), the loan is typically formalized with a promissory note. In this type of promissory note (a monthly-installment promissory note) the Borrower promises to repay the principal of the loan and accrued interest, if any, over a period time in equal monthly installments. A promissory note will set forth, among other things, the repayment schedule, the interest rate, and defaults.

Often the Lender will want some additional assurance, usually in the form of collateral, in case the Borrower fails to repay the loan. To ensure that that collateral is collectible in the case of a default, the parties will usually enter into another agreement—a security agreement. A security agreement sets out the rights of the Lender with regard to the collateral.

This form can be used in Maine.

This package contains: (1) Instructions and Checklist for the Secured Installment Promissory Note (the “Note”) and the Security Agreement (the “Agreement”); (2) Information about the Note and Agreement; (3) the Note; and (4) the Agreement.

Frequently Asked Questions

A secured installment promissory note is a legal document that outlines the terms of a loan where the borrower agrees to repay the loan amount in equal monthly installments. It is secured by collateral, providing the lender with a claim to the collateral in case of default.

Filling out the promissory note involves entering the names of the borrower and lender, the loan amount, the interest rate, and the repayment schedule. Detailed instructions are provided in the accompanying checklist to guide you through the process.

If the borrower defaults on the loan, the lender has the right to take possession of the collateral as outlined in the security agreement. This legal recourse helps protect the lender's financial interests.

Yes, this form can be utilized for both personal and business loans. It is particularly useful in business transactions where collateral is necessary to secure the loan.

While the form is designed to be user-friendly, it is advisable to seek legal counsel to ensure that all terms comply with state laws and that both parties fully understand their rights and obligations.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are looking to borrow money for personal or business purposes can utilize this secured installment promissory note to formalize the loan agreement. This document ensures that both parties understand the repayment terms and conditions, providing legal protection in case of default.
  • Situations requiring a loan secured by collateral are common in real estate transactions. By using this form, lenders can secure their investment against the property being financed, ensuring that they have a legal claim to the collateral if the borrower fails to meet their repayment obligations.
  • For those entering into a business partnership, this promissory note can serve as a critical tool to outline the terms of loans made between partners. It helps clarify the financial responsibilities and expectations, reducing the potential for disputes down the line.
  • In cases where a borrower has a less-than-perfect credit history, lenders may require a secured promissory note to mitigate risk. This form allows lenders to secure their loan with collateral, providing them with additional assurance that they will recover their funds in the event of a default.
  • Entities looking to finance equipment purchases can benefit from this document. By securing the loan with the purchased equipment, businesses can ensure they have the necessary funding while providing lenders with collateral to protect their investment.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate for unsecured loans, where no collateral is involved. In such cases, a different type of promissory note should be utilized that does not include security provisions.
  • – If the loan amount is below the minimum threshold set by state law for secured loans, using this form may not be necessary. Smaller loans might require simpler agreements without the need for collateral.
  • – In situations where the borrower is unable to provide any form of collateral, this form would not be suitable. Lenders may need to consider alternative agreements or unsecured loan documents instead.
  • – This document should not be used in cases where the lender is not willing to accept collateral. If the lender's policy prohibits secured loans, a different type of promissory note should be drafted.
  • – For loans involving multiple borrowers or complex arrangements, this form may not adequately address all parties' rights and obligations. A more comprehensive legal document may be required.
