Sec. 502. (a) Subject to subsection (b), a financing statement is sufficient only if it:(1) provides the name of the debtor;(2) provides the name of the secured party or a representative of the secured party; and(3) indicates the collateral covered by the financing statement.(b) Except as otherwise provided in IC 26-1-9.1-501(b), to be sufficient, a financing statement that covers as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut, or which is filed as a fixture filing and covers goods that are or are to become fixtures, must satisfy subsection (a) and also:(1) indicate that it covers this type of collateral;(2) indicate that it is to be filed in the real property records;(3) provide a description of the real property to which the collateral is related that is sufficient to give constructive notice of a mortgage under the law of this state if the description were contained in a record of the mortgage of the real property; and(4) if the debtor does not have an interest of record in the real property, provide the name of a record owner.(c) A record of a mortgage is effective, from the date of recording, as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing or as a financing statement covering as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut only if:(1) the record indicates the goods or accounts that it covers;(2) the goods are or are to become fixtures related to the real property described in the record or the collateral is related to the real property described in the record and is as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut;(3) the record satisfies the requirements for a financing statement in this section, but:(A) the record need not indicate that it is to be filed in the real property records; and(B) the record sufficiently provides the name of a debtor who is an individual if it provides the individual name of the debtor or the surname and first personal name of the debtor, even if the debtor is an individual to whom IC 26-1-9.1-503(a)(4) applies; and(4) the record is recorded.(d) A financing statement may be filed before a security agreement is made or a security interest otherwise attaches.(e) To the extent that IC 36-2-11-15 applies to require the identification of the preparer of a financing statement, the failure of the financing statement to identify the preparer does not affect the sufficiency of the financing statement.(f) This subsection does not apply to a financing statement described in IC 26-1-9.1-706. Not later than thirty (30) days after the date the financing statement is filed, the secured party that files the financing statement shall furnish a copy of the financing statement to the debtor. The secured party has the burden of establishing compliance with this subsection. The failure of the secured party to comply with this subsection does not affect the sufficiency or effectiveness of the financing statement. A person who fails to comply with this subsection is subject to IC 26-1-9.1-625.As added by P.L.57-2000, SEC.45. Amended by P.L.165-2001, SEC.12; P.L.54-2011, SEC.12.
