Friday, December 19 2008
A promissory note is a written promise to pay a specified amount within a predetermined period of time at a specified amount of interest; it does not have to be notarized to be legally valid. You should sign only the original of a promissory note, which will likely be held by the lender. Once the note has been repaid, you are entitled to get back the original.
Promissory notes typically contain the following key points:
- Date of the note
- Names of the parties
- Address to where payment will be sent
- Interest rate
- Due dates for payment of principal and interest
