A properly signed and dated written IOU , whether or not notarized, will be given binding authority in an action to enforce the debt.
However, to enforce a Security Agreement ( vs. Collateral) , you will need to comply with Minnesota Law and the Uniform Commercial Code in order to secure your right to seize ( usually via Court Action) and sell the Collateral to satisfy the unpaid debt.
