47-3115. 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 47-3104, 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 47-3104, but, after completion, the
requirements of section 47-3104 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 47-3407.

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.
