Endorsement refers to the recording of items concerned on the backside of a draft or onthe allonge to the draft with a signature or seal put to the record. Unless the negotiableinstrument is made "non-transferrable" at the beginning, it can be endorsed in order tonegotiate it. An instrument is most commonly endorsed for the purpose of negotiating an orderinstrument so that the transferee becomes a holder. The endorser's liability is secondary and isconditioned on dishonor of the instnunent. The endorser agrees to be liable according to theterms of the instrument at the time of his endorsement. Endorsement can be special or blank. Aspecial endorsement is an endorsement which indentifies the person to whom it makes theinstrument payable and can change an instrument from payable to bearer to payable to anindentified person. An endorsement which is not special is a blank endorsement which meansthat the holder endorses without indentifying a person to whom the instnunent is payable. Ablank endorsement changes an instrument that is payable to an indentified person to aninstrument that is payable to the bearer. An endorser is liable for guaranteeing the acceptanceand payment of the negotiable instrument held by his subsequent party after he negotiates it byendorsement. The endorser shall pay off the sum and expenses, as stipulated to the holder incase of non-acceptance or non-payment.
