A Nevada (87A) Amendment to a Limited Partnership (NRS CHAPTER87A) is a legal document filed with the Nevada Secretary of State to alter the existing formation documents of a limited partnership. The amendment is a way for the partners to modify the terms of the limited partnership without dissolving the business. The amendment can modify the partnership's name, partners, business purpose, and other business details. Amendments can also be used to add new partners or remove existing partners. There are two types of Nevada (87A) Amendment to a Limited Partnership: An Amendment to the Certificate of Limited Partnership and an Amendment to the Agreement of Limited Partnership. The Amendment to the Certificate of Limited Partnership alters the details of the limited partnership as listed in the certificate, while the Amendment to the Agreement of Limited Partnership modifies the rights and obligations of the partners as listed in the agreement.
