Document background
The Name Change Amendment Agreement is an essential legal instrument in Philippine business and civil law, used when a party to an existing contract undergoes a name change. This situation commonly arises in various scenarios such as corporate rebranding, mergers and acquisitions, legal entity restructuring, or changes in personal names. The document serves to bridge the gap between the original agreement and the new identity of the party, ensuring legal continuity and compliance with Philippine regulations. It must be drafted in accordance with the Civil Code of the Philippines and, where applicable, the Corporation Code, particularly considering requirements for proper documentation and notarization. The agreement typically becomes necessary when organizations undergo rebranding, after corporate restructuring, or when individuals legally change their names and need to maintain existing contractual relationships.
