Where does the debtor sign on the National UCC1 form?
There is no signature requirement on any of the financing statement filing forms and the national forms were not designed to accommodate a signature. Under Revised Article 9, it is the responsibility of the filer to ensure the proper authority exists to submit and file the documents. The Government Code, Subchapter J, Sections 51.901-51.905, relates to filing a fraudulent document and a decision would be made by the court, not the filing office.
