Addendum to Purchase Agreement (Universal) — Indiana Edition Template

Deals change after signing — repair credits get negotiated after inspection, closing dates slip, appraisal gaps get bridged, personal property gets added or removed. The clean, enforceable way to document any of it is a written addendum executed by all parties, because nearly every purchase agreement contains an integration/merger clause providing that modifications must be in writing, and the statute of frauds in every state requires material modifications to real estate contracts to be written anyway.

This Universal Addendum to Purchase Agreement is deliberately flexible: it identifies the underlying contract by parties, property, and effective date; provides numbered blank provisions for the new or modified terms; states that all other terms of the purchase agreement remain in full force and effect; handles conflicts between the addendum and the original agreement (addendum controls); and includes execution blocks for all buyers and sellers with dates. It is the form you reach for dozens of times a year.

The 3-page template also ships with a drafting guide containing ready-to-adapt clause language for the most common addendum scenarios: inspection repair resolutions, closing date extensions, appraisal gap provisions, seller concessions and credits (with a note on lender concession caps), personal property inclusions, post-closing occupancy stubs, and contingency waivers. The 50-state notes flag jurisdictions with specific counterpart-execution or electronic signature nuances (all states have adopted UETA or equivalent, and federal E-SIGN, 15 U.S.C. § 7001, validates electronic signatures, but practice details vary). Template for drafting purposes — review significant modifications with a broker or attorney.

About this Indiana Edition: Every form in this set is drafted around Indiana's single-license structure — since 2014 all licensees are "brokers" working under a "managing broker," and compensation, listings, and trust funds run through the broker company. Dual representation is handled under Indiana's limited-agency regime in IC 25-34.1-10, which permits it only with written consent containing specified disclosures; the consent form tracks those statements. The listing, buyer, referral, and disbursement forms are built to satisfy Indiana's statute of frauds (IC 32-21-1), including its writing requirement for commission agreements, and the electronic-signature provisions of IC 26-2-8. The seller disclosure template is a supplemental worksheet to the Commission-prescribed state form required by IC 32-21-5, with delivery before offer acceptance, actual-knowledge standard, and the IC 32-21-6 stigmatized-property rule noted. The commercial broker lien act (IC 32-28-12.5) is flagged as inapplicable to residential property. Not legal advice; have an Indiana-licensed attorney review before use.
