Loans can linger in your financial life long after they're paid off—whether it's a mortgage, car loan, student debt, personal line, or home equity. For families settling an estate, locating loan details means dealing with potential liens, title issues, tax implications, or even disputes over payments. The Loan section in WhatNow provides a secure, comprehensive space to document all of this, covering not just your current obligations but past loans too, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.

Past loans are especially important to identify and record. A paid-off mortgage might need proof of satisfaction for property sales or refinances; a cleared car loan could resolve title questions; old student or personal loans might affect credit reports or require documentation for audits. Even if they're settled, issues can arise now or in the future—like errors on records, unapplied payments, or inheritance complications—making clear proof invaluable.

In WhatNow's Loan section, you can enter complete details for each one, current or past:

- Lender name, contact info, and loan type (mortgage, auto, student, personal, etc.)  

- Original loan amount, terms, interest rate, and start/end dates  

- Current status: active, paid off, in default, or refinanced  

- Payment history notes, like final payoff date or amount  

- Linked collateral (e.g., property address for mortgage, VIN for car)  

- Beneficiary or co-signer details  

- Any special instructions, disputes, or resolutions  

- Attachments: statements, payoff letters, or lien releases for solid proof  

- And, if you choose, the full loan account number  

Like our other financial modules, this section adds an extra layer of security: sensitive details like account numbers are encrypted and protected behind an additional password prompt. Only those with your shared password can access them.

Entering full account numbers is at your discretion—our goal is to ease the burden on your loved ones by providing enough information for quick identification, verification, and resolution. If the lender name, loan type, dates, and attachments offer the proof needed (many institutions can assist with documentation), leave sensitive fields blank. But for maximum clarity, especially on past loans where records might be archived, enter them securely.

Add as many loans as relevant, update anytime, and build a full history.

With WhatNow's Loan section, you're not just noting debts—you're creating a clear record of your financial journey, preventing surprises and giving your family the proof they need to handle any loose ends with confidence.
