Short Summary
This legal document pertains to the filing of financing statements to perfect security interests or agricultural liens. It specifies the filing offices based on the local law of the state. If the collateral is as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut, or if the financing statement is filed as a fixture filing and the collateral is goods that are or are to become fixtures, the filing should be made at the office designated for filing or recording a record of a mortgage on the related real property. In all other cases, including when the collateral is goods that are or are to become fixtures and the financing statement is not filed as a fixture filing, the filing should be made at the office of the secretary of state. For transmitting utilities, the office of the secretary of state is the filing office to perfect a security interest in collateral, including fixtures. The financing statement also constitutes a fixture filing for the indicated collateral. This document was sourced from the 2001 New Hampshire Revised Statutes, Chapter 382-A, Uniform Commercial Code.
