If a security interest in a security is perfected at the date this Act takes effect but the action by which the security interest was perfected would not suffice to perfect a security interest under this Act, the security interest remains perfected for a period of four months after the effective date and continues perfected thereafter if appropriate action to perfect under this Act is taken within that period. If a security interest is perfected at the date this Act takes effect and the security interest can be perfected by filing under this Act, a financing statement signed by the secured party instead of the debtor may be filed within that period to continue perfection or thereafter to perfect.","path":["TITLE 11 Commercial Code","Article 8 Investment Securities","PART 6 Transition Provisions for Revised Article 8 and Conforming Amendments to Articles 1, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10"],"source_url":"https://archive.org/download/gov.ga.ocga.2018/release86.2022.11/gov.ga.ocga.title.11.odt","current_through":"Release 86 (2022-11)","vintage":"Public.Resource.Org bulk O.C.G.A., Release 86 (2022-11), retrieved 2026-09-17","retrieved_at":"2026-09-17T19:34:57Z","sha256":"8d11aec11dc6f771cdd7ebf399fc786e503009ae44486b62c12f38adaa2eb89c","source_id":"us-ga","stale":false,"prev":"us-ga/o.c.g.a.-11-8-602","next":"us-ga/o.c.g.a.-11-9-101"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
