LESSON 02 : Secured Party Creditor
Course
Farah Javed
Gain a foundational understanding of the Secured Party Creditor (SPC) process, its legal basis under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), and the practical steps to reclaim control over your legal estate.
This micro-learning course introduces the concept and practice of becoming a Secured Party Creditor (SPC), a process rooted in commercial law and the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC). You will explore the creation of the legal fiction (ALL CAPS name) at birth, understand the debtor-creditor dynamic, and learn how to reposition yourself as a primary creditor to your own legal estate. Through clear explanations and real-world examples, the course walks you through the legal foundations—including UCC Articles 1 and 9 and trust law—the function and structure of critical documents such as the UCC-1 Financing Statement, Security Agreement, and Declaration of Trust. Practical, step-by-step modules demystify the filing process, outline ethical and lawful responsibilities, and clarify limitations and common misconceptions. By the end, you will have a clear roadmap and foundational knowledge to understand and potentially pursue SPC status for greater legal and financial autonomy.
