A Nebraska promissory note is used to record the terms of money lent from a lender to a borrower. The note details the amount borrowed, the manner of repayment, and the repayment due date. The document provides several ways to financially protect the lender: the borrower may name a co-signer to accept responsibility if they default, or they may secure the loan by putting up collateral (often this lowers the interest rate). The lender may also establish late fees for late repayment, in addition to the interest accrued on the outstanding balance.
If the lender is not fully recompensated by the set deadline, they may file a lawsuit against the borrower and present the promissory note as legal evidence.
