Justee's promissory note review tool analyzes loan documents for interest fairness, payment flexibility, default reasonableness, and security appropriateness. The AI identifies risks including high interest rates, restrictive prepayment terms, hair-trigger defaults, and excessive security. Justee provides suggested revisions based on lending standards. Promissory notes are written promises to repay borrowed money under specified terms. They define principal, interest, payment schedules, and default consequences. Common issues include interest rates that exceed usury limits, prepayment penalties that discourage early repayment, and default provisions that trigger on minor issues.

Hypothetical Case Study by Justee

Justee recently analyzed their promissory note for a $100,000 bridge loan for a small business borrowing from an angel investor in Richmond, VA.

Issue Found: The note included a confession of judgment clause, allowing the lender to obtain a court judgment without notice or hearing if any payment was late. This waives fundamental due process rights.

Justee Recommendation: We removed the confession of judgment (which is unenforceable in many states anyway), added a 10-day cure period for late payments, and required written notice before acceleration.

Confession of Judgment

Problematic Language

"Maker hereby authorizes any attorney to appear in any court and confess judgment against Maker for the unpaid balance, plus costs, without notice."

Recommended Language

"Upon default, Lender shall provide written notice to Maker. Maker shall have 10 business days to cure any monetary default. If default is not cured, Lender may accelerate the Note and pursue remedies available at law."

Why it matters: Confession of judgment clauses waive your right to defend yourself in court. They're unconscionable and unenforceable in many states. Never sign a note with this provision.

No credit card required

"Justee is redefining the legal document compliance process across all practice areas, transforming hours of work into minutes, while reducing stress and boosting accuracy."

Promissory Note Review FAQ

Usury laws vary by state. Some states cap rates; others don't. Verify your note doesn't violate applicable usury laws.

Depends on the note. Some allow penalty-free prepayment; others charge fees or require interest through full term.

Missed payments are obvious. Watch for other triggers like financial covenant breaches or material adverse changes.

Lender can demand full repayment upon default. Review cure periods before acceleration can occur.

Collateral (secured note) or personal guarantee. Understand what assets are at risk if you default.
