Document background
The Name Change Addendum is essential when any party to an existing agreement undergoes a name change and needs to maintain continuity in their contractual relationships. This document is commonly used in India following official name changes through gazette notifications, court orders, or other legally recognized processes. It's particularly important in business contexts where corporate entities undergo rebranding or restructuring, or in personal contexts following marriage, divorce, or personal choice. The addendum ensures legal compliance under Indian law while protecting the interests of all parties by clearly documenting the change and confirming that all other terms of the original agreement remain in force. This document type requires careful attention to detail in recording both the old and new names, effective dates, and including all necessary supporting documentation.
