How LegalStack's Free Promissory Note Generator Works
LegalStack's free promissory note generator creates a state-specific, legally enforceable loan promise note in under 3 minutes — secured or unsecured, with interest terms pre-validated against each state's usury cap. No account required.
- Enter the parties and loan amount — Name the lender and borrower, the principal amount, the loan date, and the repayment date or schedule (lump sum or installment).
- Choose interest and security terms — Set the interest rate (LegalStack flags rates exceeding your state's usury cap), payment frequency, late-fee terms, and whether the note is secured by collateral.
- Choose your state — State-specific usury limits, default cure periods, and notarization/disclosure requirements load automatically — California (10% general cap), Texas (6%/10% tiers), NY (16% civil), etc.
- AI generates the promissory note — LegalStack's AI drafts a complete promissory note with all required elements under your state's UCC adoption and negotiable-instrument statutes, plus a prepayment clause and acceleration provisions.
- Download and sign — Download as PDF or Word, sign in front of a notary if required by state law or if secured by real estate. Legally binding under your state's Uniform Commercial Code adoption.
