Maturity

Necessary

1) the date when the payment of the principal amount owed under the terms of a promissory note or bill of exchange becomes due. quite often a note states that failure to pay interest or installment payments when due “accelerates” the note, making the “maturity date” immediate if such payments are demanded and not paid. 2) the age when one becomes an adult, which is 18 for most purposes.
