§ 336.9-502 — Contents of Financing Statement; Record of Mortgage as Financing Statement; Time of Filing Financing Statement

Plain-Language Summary

A financing statement must include the debtor's name, the secured party's name, and a description of the collateral. A real-property-related financing statement also needs the property description and record owner's name.

Practical Notes
A UCC-1 financing statement needs three basics: the borrower’s name, the lender’s name, and a description of the collateral.
