Section 9--619. Transfer of Record or Legal Title  


Latest version.
  • (a) "Transfer  statement." In this section, "transfer statement" means
      a record authenticated by a secured party stating:
             (1) that  the  debtor  has  defaulted  in  connection   with   an
                 obligation secured by specified collateral;
             (2) that   the  secured  party  has  exercised  its  post-default
                 remedies with respect to the collateral;
             (3) that, by reason of the exercise, a  transferee  has  acquired
                 the rights of the debtor in the collateral; and
             (4) the  name  and  mailing address of the secured party, debtor,
                 and transferee.
        (b) Effect of transfer statement. A transfer  statement  entitles  the
      transferee  to the transfer of record of all rights of the debtor in the
      collateral specified in the statement in any official filing, recording,
      registration, or certificate-of-title system covering the collateral. If
      a transfer statement is presented with the applicable  fee  and  request
      form  to  the official or office responsible for maintaining the system,
      the official or office shall:
             (1) accept the transfer statement;
             (2) promptly amend its records to reflect the transfer; and
             (3) if applicable, issue a new appropriate certificate  of  title
                 in the name of the transferee.
        (c) Transfer not a disposition; no relief of secured party's duties. A
      transfer  of  the record or legal title to collateral to a secured party
      under subsection (b) or otherwise is not  of  itself  a  disposition  of
      collateral under this article and does not of itself relieve the secured
      party of its duties under this article.
