Oregon Promissory Note Templates

The Oregon promissory note templates can be downloaded in Word or .PDF format. The .PDF template can be filled out using Acrobat (or any program that can edit .PDF files). Both secured and unsecured promissory note templates are available.

In the event of a default on the loan, the lender can take the borrower to court in order to gain possession of the pledged assets.
