Also called an assignment and assumption. An agreement in which one party transfers its contractual rights and obligations to another party.
In business contracts, assignment refers to transferring an agreement's rights, obligations, and property to another party. For example, most commercial tenancy agreements include a clause allowing the tenant to assign their lease to a third party, and that third party becomes the new tenant.
An assignment and assumption agreement is used after a contract is signed, in order to transfer one of the contracting party's rights and obligations to a third party who was not originally a party to the contract.
If you are assigning a contract, your original contract with the seller will need to state that it is assignable. Most wholesalers do this by stating that the buyer is your name and/or assigns. You would then sign an assignment of contract with the buyer.
