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 Tennessee.

Frequently Asked Questions
A secured promissory note is a legal document that outlines the terms of a loan where the borrower pledges collateral to secure the loan. This provides the lender with a claim to the collateral in case of default.
You should use a secured promissory note when lending money and you want to protect your investment by securing it with collateral. This is especially important for larger loans or when dealing with borrowers who may have credit issues.
If the borrower defaults on the loan, the lender has the right to seize the collateral specified in the security agreement. This process typically involves legal proceedings to reclaim the asset.
Yes, the terms of the promissory note can be modified if both parties agree to the changes. It is advisable to document any modifications in writing to avoid disputes.
Yes, a secured promissory note is generally enforceable in court as long as it meets the legal requirements of a contract. This includes mutual consent, a lawful purpose, and consideration.
While it is not strictly necessary to hire a lawyer, it is highly recommended to ensure that the note complies with state laws and adequately protects your interests.
Collateral can include various assets such as real estate, vehicles, equipment, or other valuable property. The type of collateral should be agreed upon by both parties and clearly stated in the security agreement.
Is This Form Right For You?
Use This Form If:
- Individuals who are lending money to a friend or family member may want to formalize the loan with a secured promissory note to ensure repayment. This document provides legal backing and specifies the terms of the loan, including collateral to protect the lender's interests.
- Businesses seeking to finance operations or expansion can utilize this form to secure loans against their assets. By doing so, they can negotiate better terms with lenders, as the collateral reduces the risk for the lender.
- In situations where a borrower has a poor credit history, lenders may require a secured promissory note to mitigate their risk. This form allows the lender to claim the collateral if the borrower defaults, thus providing a level of security.
- Real estate investors often use secured promissory notes when borrowing funds to purchase properties. The properties themselves can serve as collateral, making it easier to obtain financing while clearly outlining repayment terms.
- For those entering into a loan agreement involving significant amounts of money, having a secured promissory note is crucial. It not only formalizes the arrangement but also provides legal recourse in case of non-payment.
Do Not Use If:
- – This form is not appropriate for unsecured loans, where no collateral is involved. In such cases, a simple promissory note may suffice without the need for a security agreement.
- – If the borrower is a corporation or a business entity with complex financial structures, specialized legal documents may be required. In these scenarios, consulting with a legal professional is advisable.
- – The form should not be used for loans involving illegal activities or purposes. Any agreement related to unlawful actions is not enforceable and can lead to legal complications.
- – In situations where the loan amount is minimal, using a secured promissory note may be unnecessarily complicated. For small loans, a verbal agreement or a simple written note may be more practical.
- – If the lender does not require collateral for the loan, a secured promissory note is not needed. Instead, a standard promissory note would be more appropriate.
