Definition of material alteration
Definition: A significant change in something, especially in a legal instrument, that alters its legal meaning or effect.
Examples:
- Changing the date, time, place, amount, or rate of interest in a negotiable instrument without the consent of all parties to it.
- Adding or removing the name of a maker, drawer, indorser, payee, or cosurety in a negotiable instrument.
- Changing the form of an indorsement or changing the liability from joint to several in a negotiable instrument.
These examples illustrate how a material alteration can affect the legal meaning or effect of a negotiable instrument. Any significant change to the terms of the instrument without the consent of all parties involved can render it void. However, immaterial alterations that do not change the legal meaning or effect of the instrument are allowed.

Simple Definition
Material Alteration: A big change to something, like a building or a legal document, that makes it different from what it was before. If the change is important enough, it can make the thing invalid or change the rights and responsibilities of the people involved. For example, if someone changes the date or amount on a check without permission, it's a material alteration and the check can't be cashed.
