IMPORTANT NOTES
Effect of Amendment
-
Party Changes:
- Adding a debtor: Creates a new financing statement as to that debtor (UCC § 9-512(c))
- Deleting a debtor: Financing statement ceases to be effective as to that debtor
- Name changes: May require new filing if debtor's name becomes seriously misleading -
Collateral Changes:
- Adding collateral: Perfection date for new collateral is amendment filing date
- Deleting collateral: Releases security interest in that collateral
- WARNING: Adding collateral starts new priority clock for that collateral -
Assignment:
- Assignee becomes secured party of record
- Assignee can authorize future amendments
- Does not affect perfection or priority
Lapse Date NOT Extended
CRITICAL: An amendment (other than a continuation statement) does NOT extend the lapse date of the initial financing statement. The financing statement will still lapse 5 years from the ORIGINAL filing date unless a proper continuation statement is filed.
Multiple Amendments
If making multiple types of changes:
- File separate amendment forms for each type, OR
- Combine changes on one form where permitted, OR
- Consult with filing office for requirements
