What is an Amendment To Contract Of Sale?

An amendment to a contract of sale is a legal document that changes the terms that have already been agreed upon between two parties in a sales contract. A real estate sales contract is a good example where an amendment to a contract of sale may be used, but amendments can be made to any type of contract related to a potential purchase.

The most common reasons for amending a contract are because of unforeseen circumstances and changing conditions. For example, if there was a natural disaster that damaged the property being sold as part of the agreement, both parties would need to agree on how they will proceed with completing the transaction before signing off on any new amendments.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
