§ 336.2A-302 — Title to and Possession of Goods

Plain-Language Summary

This section makes the lease provisions of this article apply no matter who holds title to the goods (the lessor or a third party) and no matter who has possession (the lessor, the lessee, or a third party). It applies even where some other statute or legal rule would otherwise treat having possession, or not having possession, as a sign of fraud.

Practical Notes
The rules of this article govern a lease regardless of who actually holds title to or possession of the goods, and a separation between ownership and possession does not by itself make the arrangement fraudulent.
