PERSONAL LOAN AGREEMENT FAQ
What is a Personal Loan Agreement?
A personal loan agreement is a legally binding document that clearly outlines the terms under which one individual lends money to another. It specifies the loan amount, repayment schedule, interest rate (if applicable), payment method, and consequences for late or missed payments. Unlike informal verbal arrangements, a written personal loan agreement ensures both parties understand their rights and obligations.
Why do you need a Personal Loan Agreement?
A personal loan agreement provides written evidence of the loan terms, which helps prevent misunderstandings or disputes between the lender and borrower. It protects both parties by making the loan enforceable in court and can also outline provisions for early repayment, collateral (if any), and penalties for default. Having a signed agreement reduces the risk of strained relationships—especially when lending to family or friends—by keeping expectations clear.
When should you use a Personal Loan Agreement?
Use a personal loan agreement whenever money is borrowed or lent between individuals, whether for personal expenses, debt consolidation, emergency funds, or other private purposes. It is particularly important when significant sums are involved, repayment will occur over time, or interest will be charged.
How to write a Personal Loan Agreement?
Identify the lender and borrower by full legal name and contact information, specify the loan amount, repayment terms, interest rate (if applicable), late payment penalties, and any collateral or guarantees. Include the governing law, dispute resolution terms, and require both parties to sign and date the agreement. For added security, consider having the document witnessed or notarized.
