Creating a Security Interest – Overview: Discussions in Secured Transactions Podcast

This podcast provides an overview of the process by which a creditor attaches a security interest to collateral under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, thereby making it enforceable by the creditor in the event there are unmet obligations to the creditor (in most cases by non-payment of a loan by the debtor). The podcast reviews the requirements of security agreements and uses a series of examples to demonstrate when a security interest attaches.
