Legal professionals normally take great care to ensure the accuracy of information provided on UCC financing statements. Nevertheless, even the most diligent filer may make a small error from time to time. Fortunately, minor errors generally do not render a financing statement ineffective. There is, however, one piece of information where there is no room for error - the debtor name.
The UCC search and retrieval process is dependent on the filing of correct debtor names. For this reason, UCC Article 9, the law governing perfection and priority of security interests, requires strict compliance with the statutory debtor name rules. Moreover, Article 9 and the courts will tolerate harsh results for filers that fail to comply. As a result, even the tiniest error in a debtor name can render the financing statement seriously misleading and not effective.
It is essential that those who file UCC records understand the debtor name rules, which are sometimes counter-intuitive and can be confusing. This presentation will help clarify what is required for strict compliance with the Article 9 debtor name rules, how to determine the correct name for each type of debtor and how to correctly provide the debtor name on the UCC record.
Attendees will learn:
- The debtor name rules by debtor type (or status of the collateral);
- The statutory source document for each type of debtor name;
- The role of filing office standard search logic; and
- How to avoid the most common traps for the unwary filer.
