 | | The integration or merger clause essentially turns the written document into not just a record of the agreement, but an authoritative text that has become the contract itself. |
 | | Thus, if Aunt Hattie had added a clause to her will stating that she incorporated by reference a list of personal property located in her safe deposit box, the list becomes part of the text of her will and the property will go to her various nieces and nephews. |
 | | Additional possible clauses, which typically come at the end of a statute, may relate to matters such as administration of the act, enforcement, transitional provisions, repeals of earlier acts, and schedules. |
