(a) A financing statement
sufficiently provides the name of the debtor:
(1) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (3) of this subsection (a), if the
debtor is a registered organization or the collateral is held in a trust that is a
registered organization, only if the financing statement provides the name that is
stated to be the registered organization's name on the public organic record most
recently filed with or issued or enacted by the registered organization's jurisdiction
of organization that purports to state, amend, or restate the registered
organization's name;
(2) Subject to subsection (f) of this section, if the collateral is being
administered by the personal representative of a decedent, only if the financing
statement provides, as the name of the debtor, the name of the decedent and, in a
separate part of the financing statement, indicates that the collateral is being
administered by a personal representative;
(3) If the collateral is held in a trust that is not a registered organization, only
if the financing statement:
(A) Provides, as the name of the debtor:
(i) If the organic record of the trust specifies a name for the trust, the name
specified; or
(ii) If the organic record of the trust does not specify a name for the trust, the
name of the settlor or testator; and
(B) In a separate part of the financing statement:
(i) If the name is provided in accordance with sub-subparagraph (i) of
subparagraph (A) of this paragraph (3), indicates that the collateral is held in a
trust; or
(ii) If the name is provided in accordance with sub-subparagraph (ii) of
subparagraph (A) of this paragraph (3), provides additional information sufficient to
distinguish the trust from other trusts having one or more of the same settlors or
the same testator and indicates that the collateral is held in a trust, unless the
additional information so indicates;
(4) If the debtor is an individual, only if the financing statement:
(A) Provides the individual name of the debtor;
(B) Provides the surname and first personal name of the debtor; or
(C) Subject to subsection (g) of this section, provides the name of the
individual that is indicated on a driver's license that this state has issued to the
individual and that has not expired or an identification card issued pursuant to part
3 of article 2 of title 42, C.R.S., that has not expired; and
(5) In other cases:
(A) If the debtor has a name, only if the financing statement provides the
individual or organizational name of the debtor; and
(B) If the debtor does not have a name, only if the financing statement
provides the names of the partners, members, associates, or other persons
comprising the debtor, in a manner that each name provided would be sufficient if
the person named were the debtor.
(b) A financing statement that provides the name of the debtor in
accordance with subsection (a) of this section is not rendered ineffective by the
absence of:
(1) A trade name or other name of the debtor; or
(2) Unless required under subparagraph (B) of paragraph (5) of subsection (a)
of this section, names of partners, members, associates, or other persons
comprising the debtor.
(c) A financing statement that provides only the debtor's trade name does
not sufficiently provide the name of the debtor.
(d) Failure to indicate the representative capacity of a secured party or
representative of a secured party does not affect the sufficiency of a financing
statement.
(e) A financing statement may provide the name of more than one debtor and
the name of more than one secured party.
(f) The name of the decedent indicated on the order appointing the personal
representative of the decedent issued by the court having jurisdiction over the
collateral is sufficient as the name of the decedent under paragraph (2) of
subsection (a) of this section.
(g) If this state has issued to an individual more than one driver's license of a
kind described in subparagraph (C) of paragraph (4) of subsection (a) of this section,
the one that was issued most recently is the one to which subparagraph (C) of
paragraph (4) of subsection (a) of this section refers.
(h) In this section, the name of the settlor or testator means:
