Legal Question in Business Law in Florida

Changing a contract

I have a signed contract from 7/31/08 to sell a corporation to my brother in law. He now wants me to sign a new contract that includes his new wife but the date of the original contract is still on the new contract (that is 7/31/08) instead of today's date. Everything else is exactly the same. He just is adding his wife's name to the contract. Is this legal & what are the ramifications for me???

Re: Changing a contract

It is legal to add a party to a contract. Without reading the contract I cannot comment on its ramifications.

Re: Changing a contract

I agree that without looking at the document it is difficult to say. The contract should reflect the date it was signed. I would ask him why he chose to leave that date.
