Alter Name Contract For Free

Contract alteration occurs after a contract has been signed but one party seeks to modify the terms or key points of the contract with or without the consent of the other party.

It is important to note that the contract is not void simply because of the name change. This is because a new entity is not created with a corporate legal name change, it is the same entity simply with a different name.

It depends on the extent of the change required. If it is a minor change, it can usually be done through an exchange of letters. However, for significant changes such as adding or removing a buyer or purchasing the property as a different entity, a Deed of Rescission and a new contract are required.

In general, a typographical error or minor misspelling of your name is unlikely to invalidate a contract. However, if your name is completely incorrect, it could be argued that the contract is not binding because it does not accurately identify you as a party to the agreement.

For LLCs and corporations, changing business names will generally require filing a name amendment with the state of incorporation. If the business operates in multiple states, a name amendment must be filed with the additional states as well.

In simple terms, a Change-of-Name Agreement is needed to recognize when a contractor has a legal change of their business name. A Novation Agreement applies in a number of situations (e.g. contractor sells all or a part of the company and the contract is still ongoing).

You can modify a contract at any time as long as all parties involved in the agreement consent to the changes. Minor modifications may be handwritten on the original document and then signed by all parties. Major changes, however, need to involve a contract renegotiation, reprinting, and resigning.

Name Changes During Contract Duration Some contracts might already include terms in the contract, which identify what happens if a company changes its name. For those contracts not including such language, it is important for the parties to immediately modify the contract to identify the change in name.

Addendum to the contract, also called contract amendment or an amending agreement, is any document added after the signing of the agreement to modify its terms.

Contracts will be voided if there is a mistake or fraud by one of the parties. Contracts may also be voided if a party entered into a contract under duress.Examples of void contracts include contracts that are entered into by parties that are not legally competent to contract.
