STEP-BY-STEP EXECUTION AND FILING GUIDE

1. Drafting: Replace all bracketed text (e.g., [Amount in USD]) with the specific terms of your agreement. Ensure the interest rate complies with Nevada's statutory limits for private loans.
2. Verification: Confirm the legal status of the parties using the Nevada Secretary of State’s business entity search (nvsos.gov) to ensure the entity is in "Active" status.
3. Execution: Use an e-signature platform (e.g., DocuSign, Adobe Sign) for audit trails, or sign in "wet ink" in the presence of a Notary Public if the loan is secured by real property (Deed of Trust).
4. Collateral (If applicable): If this note is secured by assets, a separate Security Agreement must be drafted and a UCC-1 Financing Statement must be filed with the Nevada Secretary of State to perfect the interest.
5. Record Retention: Retain the original executed copy in a fireproof, secure digital vault. Distribute certified copies to both the Borrower and the Lender for tax reporting purposes.
