SB9-SSA1,53,10 409.203 Attachment and enforceability of security interest; proceeds; supporting obligations; formal requisites. (1) Attachment. A security interest attaches to collateral when it becomes enforceable against the debtor with respect to the collateral, unless an agreement expressly postpones the time of attachment.

SB9-SSA1,53,13 (2) Enforceability. Except as otherwise provided in subs. (3) to (9), a security interest is enforceable against the debtor and 3rd parties with respect to the collateral only if:

SB9-SSA1,53,14 (a) Value has been given;

SB9-SSA1,53,16 (b) The debtor has rights in the collateral or the power to transfer rights in the collateral to a secured party; and

SB9-SSA1,53,17 (c) One of the following conditions is met:

SB9-SSA1,54,11 (4) When person becomes bound by another person's security agreement. (a) A person becomes bound as debtor by a security agreement entered into by another person if, by operation of law other than this chapter or by contract:

SB9-SSA1,54,16 2. The person becomes generally obligated for the obligations of the other person, including the obligation secured under the security agreement, and acquires or succeeds to all or substantially all of the assets of the other person.

SB9-SSA1,54,21 (b) A security agreement authenticated by one spouse is authenticated by the debtor under this section if that spouse acting alone has the right under s. 766.51 to manage and control the collateral, unless a marital property agreement or court decree that is binding on the secured party under s. 766.55 (4m) or 766.56 (2) (c) provides otherwise.

SB9-SSA1,55,5 (b) Another agreement is not necessary to make a security interest in the property enforceable.

SB9-SSA1,55,9 (6) Proceeds and supporting obligations. The attachment of a security interest in collateral gives the secured party the rights to proceeds provided by s. 409.315 and is also attachment of a security interest in a supporting obligation for the collateral.

SB9-SSA1,55,13 (7) Lien securing right to payment. The attachment of a security interest in a right to payment or performance secured by a security interest or other lien on personal or real property is also attachment of a security interest in the security interest, mortgage, or other lien.

SB9-SSA1,56,4 (b) A commercial tort claim.

SB9-SSA1,56,8 (3) Future advances and other value. A security agreement may provide that collateral secures, or that accounts, chattel paper, payment intangibles, or promissory notes are sold in connection with, future advances or other value, whether or not the advances or value are given pursuant to commitment.

SB9-SSA1,56,11 409.205 Use or disposition of collateral permissible. (1) When security interest not invalid or fraudulent. A security interest is not invalid or fraudulent against creditors solely because:

SB9-SSA1,56,12 (a) The debtor has the right or ability to:

SB9-SSA1,56,14 1. Use, commingle, or dispose of all or part of the collateral, including returned or repossessed goods;
