What is an Amendatory Agreement?
An amendatory agreement is any legal agreement created with the intent of modifying the terms and conditions of an existing legal contract. This type of agreement can be used for any contract modification, no matter how big or small. It is intended to ensure that when changes are made to the original signed agreement, they are properly documented and recorded for legal purposes. This allows both parties to keep a record of their roles and responsibiltiies. It is also helpful to provide vital legal support if dispute resolution is needed.
