Installment Note with Prepayment Fee | Canada

If you are selling a real estate property and allowing the buyer to pay the purchase price over time, make sure the buyer signs this Purchase Money Promissory Note.

• Having a signed promissory note in place makes you a secured creditor if the buyer becomes bankrupt or insolvent.
• The buyer will pay off the balance of the purchase price in regular installments, rather than having to come up with all of the purchase money in order to close the sale.
• The Note contains an acceleration clause, meaning if the maker defaults in a payment, the entire balance together with interest becomes immediately due and payable.
• Get the Purchase Money Promissory Note signed at the same time that the other documents for the real estate purchase are executed by the buyer.

When lending money to a friend or family member in Canada, you may choose not to charge the borrower interest.

Even in these cases, it is important to secure a formal commitment from the borrower to repay the loaned amount. Obtaining a signed Demand Promissory Note for principal only ensures that the borrower is legally obliged to repay the principal.

When and Where to Use the Form

• This type of Promissory Note is most frequently used when the lender and borrower share a close relationship, such as family members.
• This Demand Promissory Note is intended for use within Canada. It is suitable for all provinces and territories except Québec, where a different French-language form may be needed.

Repayment Terms

Because the loan is interest-free, the borrower is required only to return the principal amount borrowed. No interest will accrue on the loan.

Format and Accessibility

The Demand Promissory Note is available as a digital download in MS Word format, making it convenient to use and customize.

Purpose of Promissory Note for Interest Only

This Promissory Note template is designed to help secure the repayment of a loan made within Canada. It provides a clear framework for both lenders and borrowers regarding the repayment terms and expectations.

Interest-Only Payment Terms

Under this Note, the borrower is required to make payments that cover only the accrued interest on the loan. No payments toward the principal amount are necessary until the specific date outlined in the Note. This allows the borrower to manage cash flow by deferring principal repayments until a later time.

Schedule of Interest Payments

Interest payments are to be made in arrears, following a regular payment schedule as defined in the terms of the Note. This ensures that the lender receives compensation for the use of their funds over the period of the loan.

Principal Repayment and Prepayment

The principal sum of the loan may be repaid at any time chosen by the borrower, without incurring any penalty or additional fee. This flexibility benefits the borrower, allowing for early repayment if desired.

Format and Availability

This template is provided in Microsoft Word format, making it easy to edit and customize to suit the specific details of your transaction. Users are encouraged to modify the document as necessary to reflect the terms agreed upon by both parties.
