KRS 355.3-115: Incomplete instrument.

Read at publisher ↗
Where this section sits in the code

    (1) "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.

    (2) Subject to subsection (3) of this section, if an incomplete instrument is an

    instrument under KRS 355.3 -104, 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 KRS 355.3 -104, but, after

    completion, the requirements of KRS 355.3 -104, are met, the instrument may be

    enforced according to its terms as augmented by completion.

    (3) If words or numbers are added to an incomplete instrument without auth ority of the

    signer, there is an alteration of the incomplete instrument under KRS 355.3-407.

    (4) 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.
