Expert Solution

Step 1: Introduction

Negotiable instruments are financial instruments that can be transferred from one person to another in order to transfer a specific right or entitlement. These instruments include checks, promissory notes, and bills of exchange.

The transfer of negotiable instruments is governed by specific laws and regulations that establish the rights and obligations of the parties involved in the transfer. These laws typically require that the transfer be made in writing, and that the instrument be properly endorsed by the original holder.
