If you mean that a note to pay back the debt was signed by the debtor upon the debt being acquired, then yes. Any note that the person signs saying he or she will pay back a debt is a legally binding agreement.

If you have a lien on your home and you lose your home do you still have to pay?

Yes. The lien is simply a method by which a debt is secured. If the lien is on the house and the house is lost, the only thing the creditor loses is the security for the debt. The debt remains payable. If a person buys a house and borrows $100,000 to help pay for it, that person signs a promissory note to establish the debt and signs a mortgage to establish the bank's lien on the house as security for the debt. If the house burns down and there is no fire insurance, the bank has lost the security for the debt but it has not lost the debt. The mortgage (security) is useless because there is no house, but the promissory note (debt) remains in effect.


If you have a promissory note with someone and they die are you still responsible to pay the debt?

No. Without both signatures, the promissory note is not legal. As the other party is deceased, there is no way to collect that signature to make the note valid.
