Tennessee Promissory Note Templates

The Tennessee promissory note templates can be used to create secured or unsecured promissory notes (for use in the State of Tennessee). Promissory notes are legal documents that provide an outline of a loan’s various terms (e.g. loaned amount, interest rate, payment schedule/installment amount, etc.). Secured notes require the borrower to pledge collateral (as security). If a borrower defaults on a secured note they may lose possession of their pledged assets. This is the primary difference between secured and unsecured notes (unsecured notes are not backed by collateral).

Usury Rate – Under §47-14-103 (of the Tennessee Code), the legal interest rate is capped at ten percent (10%). More information regarding Tennessee usury law can be viewed here.
