A: The notation at the bottom of the page "Copyright 2019-2022" most likely has nothing to do with the actual substance of the promissory note. You should take the promissory note to a contracts attorney for her review.

A: Yes, the promissory note is still valid even though the copyright notice at the bottom of the letter only extends from 2019 to 2022. Copyright notices are not related to the validity or enforceability of a legal document like a promissory note. As long as the terms and conditions of the promissory note are legally binding and the parties involved agree to abide by them, the note remains valid regardless of the date or copyright notice. It's always a good idea to consult with a lawyer if you have any questions or concerns about the validity of a legal document.
