U.C.C. § 3-205","heading":"Special indorsement; blank indorsement; anomalous indorsement.","body":"(a) If an indorsement is made by the holder of an instrument, whether payable to an identified person or payable to bearer, and the indorsement identifies a person to whom it makes the instrument payable, it is a \"special indorsement\". When specially indorsed, an instrument becomes payable to the identified person and may be negotiated only by the indorsement of that person. The principles stated in section 3-110 apply to special indorsements.\n(b) If an indorsement is made by the holder of an instrument and it is not a special indorsement, it is a \"blank indorsement\". When indorsed in blank, an instrument becomes payable to bearer and may be negotiated by transfer of possession alone until specially indorsed.\n(c) The holder may convert a blank indorsement that consists only of a signature into a special indorsement by writing, above the signature of the indorser, words identifying the person to whom the instrument is made payable.\n(d) \"Anomalous indorsement\" means an indorsement made by a person who is not the holder of the instrument. An anomalous indorsement does not affect the manner in which the instrument may be negotiated.","path":["Uniform Commercial Code","Article 3"],"source_url":"https://nebraskalegislature.gov/laws/ucc.php?code=3-205","current_through":"Laws 2026","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-17T21:01:12Z","sha256":"a05601dfe718af1a3e78d854fa266921a76c731c4b45c519678f868529b4717d","source_id":"us-ne","stale":true,"prev":"us-ne/neb.-u.c.c.-3-204","next":"us-ne/neb.-u.c.c.-3-206"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
