Indiana Code Title 26. Commercial Law § 26-1-1-0.5

Sec. 0.5. (a) If a security interest is perfected or has priority as of December 31, 1985, as to all persons or as to certain persons without any filing or recording, and if the filing of a financing statement would be required for the perfection or priority of the security interest against those persons under P.L.93-1985, the perfection and priority rights of the security interest continue until December 31, 1988.  The perfection will then lapse unless a financing statement is filed as provided in subsection (d) or unless the security interest is perfected otherwise than by filing.

(b) If a security interest is perfected as of December 31, 1985, under a law other than this article, as effective on December 31, 1985, which requires no further filing, refiling, or recording to continue its perfection, perfection continues until and will lapse on December 31, 1988, unless:

(c) If a security interest is perfected by a filing, refiling, or recording under a law repealed by P.L.93-1985, which required further filing, refiling, or recording to continue its perfection, perfection continues and will lapse on the date provided by the repealed law for the further filing, refiling, or recording unless a financing statement is filed as provided in subsection (d) or unless the security interest is perfected otherwise than by filing.

(d) A financing statement may be filed within six (6) months before the perfection of a security interest would otherwise lapse.  Any such financing statement may be signed by either the debtor or the secured party.  The financing statement must identify the security agreement, statement, or notice (however denominated in any statute or other law repealed or modified by P.L.93-1985), state the office where and the date when the last filing, refiling, or recording, if any, was made with respect to the security agreement, statement, or notice and the filing number, if any, or book and page, if any, of recording, and further state that the security agreement, statement, or notice, however denominated, in another filing office under this article, as amended by P.L.93-1985, or under any statute or other law repealed or modified by P.L.93-1985 is still effective.  IC 26-1-9-401 and IC 26-1-9-103, as amended by P.L.93-1985 and before their repeal, determine the proper place to file such a financing statement.  Except as specified in this subsection, the provisions of IC 26-1-9-403(3), as amended by P.L.93-1985 and before its repeal, for continuation statements apply to such a financing statement.
