If filing a new contract extension,can I change date on 1st form?

Question

I might need to file another contract extension. We've already filed one. My question is this:

On the first extension we made, can I just scratch out the date, write the date of the next month, and have everyone date and initial beside it?

Or should I create a whole new extension and have everyone sign and date again?

Everyone is on the same page.

Thanks.

Yes I guess but how can you do quick efficient deals if you have to wait for people to respond to your question online?

No one responded but me.

I suppose so. Isn’t that what this community is for?

Thanks for your reply. I’ll reach out about it.

@Ben Gabin just out of curiosity do you post a new thread on BP each time you have a super specific question?

This sort of question is best to just ask to the attorney/title company doing the paperwork. Have you asked them? I’m guessing it’s fine to do what you suggested, unless a lender is involved. Then they’d have to probably sign off on it too.

I had a situation like this a couple weeks ago. Seller agreed verbally to mild seller credit. Instead of drawing up an addendum and having everyone sign it, I just asked the attorney and they said yeah that’s fine. They just changed the closing documents.

Last fall I was a seller and I did my own property sale. We just verbally changed the close date and it was all fine. No addendum necessary.

Long story short just ask your title company
