Illinois Order for Reformation
About this form
The Order for Reformation is a legal document that requests a court to modify or correct the terms of a written contract or agreement. This form is used specifically when there is a need to reflect the true intent of the parties involved, particularly in mortgage agreements. Unlike other forms, which may simply reference agreements, this document seeks judicial approval for changes to existing written terms.
Key parts of this document

Situations where this form applies
This form should be used in situations where there is an error or ambiguity in a mortgage document that requires correction. For example, if a property's legal description on a mortgage does not match the actual property or if terms of the contract do not accurately reflect the agreed-upon terms, initiating a reformation action can help clarify the written agreement and ensure it meets legal standards.
