A "Secured party" is an individual or entity that benefits from a security interest or agricultural lien established under a security agreement, even if no current obligation exists. This can include those who hold liens on agricultural property, consignors, buyers of accounts or promissory notes, or trustees and agents representing interests in secured transactions. It also encompasses those with security interests arising from specific legal provisions related to sales, leases, and banking transactions.
