§ 115. § 3—115.
- Incomplete instrument (a) “Incomplete instrument” means a signed writing, whether or not issued by the signer,
the contents of which show at the time of signing that it is incomplete but that the
signer intended it to be completed by the addition of words or numbers. (b) Subject to subsection (c) of this section, if an incomplete instrument is an instrument
under section 3—104 of this title, it may be enforced according to its terms if it is not completed, or according to
its terms as augmented by completion. If an incomplete instrument is not an instrument
under section 3—104 of this title, but, after completion, the requirements of section 3—104 of this title are met, the instrument may be enforced according to its terms as augmented by completion. (c) If words or numbers are added to an incomplete instrument without authority of the
signer, there is an alteration of the incomplete instrument under section 3—407 of this title. (d) The burden of establishing that words or numbers were added to an incomplete instrument
without authority of the signer is on the person asserting the lack of authority. (Added 1993, No. 158 (Adj. Sess.), § 12, eff. Jan. 1, 1995.)
