Verification Checklist
Run before finalizing:
- [ ] Promise is unconditional and payable "to the order of" (UCC Art. 3 negotiability)
- [ ] Interest rate ≤ governing state usury ceiling — [VERIFY state-specific limit]
- [ ] Usury savings clause included (excess interest → applied to principal or refunded)
- [ ] Day-count convention stated explicitly (360 or actual/365)
- [ ] Variable rate uses SOFR (not LIBOR) with publication source and fallback language
- [ ] Prepayment penalty complies with governing state rules — [VERIFY state restrictions]
- [ ] Non-recourse carve-outs (if applicable) are enumerated explicitly, not vague
- [ ] Terms align with related deed of trust/mortgage, loan agreement, and guaranty
- [ ] Cross-default provisions mirrored across all security documents
- [ ] If any Maker is an individual, confirmed TILA/Reg Z/state consumer statutes do not apply (skill targets commercial transactions only)
