Simple English definitions for legal terms

alteration

Read a random definition: resisting process

A quick definition of alteration:

Alteration refers to a big change made to a building or other structure that essentially creates a different building or structure. It can also refer to a significant change to real estate, especially to a structure, that does not involve adding or removing the exterior dimensions of a building's structural parts. An alteration can also mean changing the language or meaning of a legal document, like a contract or agreement, after it has been signed. If the change is important, it can make the document invalid, but if it is not important, the document can still be valid.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A significant change made to a building or other structure, essentially creating a different building or structure. It can also refer to a substantial change to real estate, especially to a structure, usually not involving an addition to or removal of the exterior dimensions of a building's structural parts.

  • Adding a new floor to a building is an example of a structural alteration.
  • Changing the layout of a room by removing a wall is an example of a real estate alteration.
  • Changing the date, time, place, amount, or rate of interest on a negotiable instrument without the consent of all parties to it is an example of an alteration that can void the instrument.

The examples illustrate that an alteration can refer to a significant change made to a building or structure, or a change made to a legal document that can affect the rights and obligations of the parties involved. In both cases, the change must be substantial and not simply a minor modification.
