Interlineation is a legal term that signifies writing has been inserted between earlier language.
[1] It is commonly used to indicate the insertion of new language between previous sentences in a contract, though it may also be used in other contexts.
[2] For example, interlineations can help to clarify specific points of a legal contract, and are useful if some of the terms of a contract become unclear later.
They are typically initialed and dated, so as to make a record of changes and agreements to a particular contract.
