| How AI is used | The tool lists whether any secured obligation or commitment remains, which opened path the facts appear to match, and the last day of the one-month or 20-day period once the lawyer identifies the triggering date. It does not send a demand or prepare a filing. |
| What the lawyer must review | UCC Sections 9-513, 9-512, and 9-518. Where the financing statement covers consumer goods, Section 9-513(a) requires the secured party to cause the secured party of record to file a termination statement if there is no secured obligation and no commitment to advance or give value, or if the debtor did not authorize the initial filing. Subsection (b) requires that filing within one month after there is no obligation and no commitment, or, if earlier, within 20 days after the secured party receives an authenticated demand. In other cases, subsection (c) requires the secured party, within 20 days after an authenticated demand, to cause the secured party of record to send the debtor a termination statement or to file it, if the subsection (c) conditions are met. Paragraph (c)(1) requires, except for sold accounts or chattel paper or goods that are the subject of a consignment, that no obligation be secured and that there be no commitment to advance or give value. Section 9-512, subject to Section 9-509, permits an amendment that adds or deletes collateral, continues or terminates the financing statement, or otherwise amends it, and that identifies the initial financing statement by file number. The official text offers alternatives on whether further filing details are required. An amendment does not extend effectiveness except as Section 9-515 provides. Section 9-518(a) lets a person file an information statement about a record indexed under that person's name if the person believes the record is inaccurate or was wrongfully filed. Filing an information statement does not affect the effectiveness of the financing statement or another filed record. The lawyer writes any demand. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: The tool lists whether any secured obligation or commitment remains, which opened path the facts appear to match, and the last day of the one-month or 20-day period once the lawyer identifies the triggering date. It does not send a demand or prepare a filing.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Article 9 in the sources is the uniform text. The lawyer reads the enacting state's current text before reliance. Sections 9-512 and 9-518 present alternatives. The lawyer uses the alternative the state enacted.
- An information statement under Section 9-518 is not an amendment, and filing it does not affect effectiveness.
- Sections 9-509 and 9-515, and the remainder of Section 9-513(c) after paragraph (c)(1), were not applied. The tool does not describe who may authorize a filing.
