Promissory Note Legal Details

Summary

A promissory note is a legal instrument similar to a contract, requiring offer, acceptance, consideration, and intention to create legal relations. It is an unconditional promise to pay a specified sum to a named person. By agreeing to a promissory note, you might be admitting you owe money, which can be enforced against your property. In modern English law, trusts are used for estate planning and asset management, and debts are typically paid from personal assets or through insolvency processes. The Cestui Que Vie Trust is a historical concept and largely obsolete today.
