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.
A contract assignment means that a party to the contract assigns the entire contract to another party. This means that the party gives the obligations and benefits of an existing contract to another party.
Editor's Note: An assignment and assumption agreement assigns contractual rights or intangible personal property (such as intellectual property or goodwill) from one party, the assignor, to another party, the assignee, who will also assume at least some of the associated liabilities and performance obligations.
Also called an assignment and assumption. An agreement in which one party transfers its contractual rights and obligations to another party.
Contract Assignment. (a) A contract assignment must be made as part of an ownership change, a change in tax status, or a transfer from one legal entity to another through a legal process. No assignment is effective until approved, in writing, by the Texas Department of Human Services (DHS).
Also called an assignment and assumption. An agreement in which one party transfers its contractual rights and obligations to another party.
Also, to enhance its enforceability, it is advisable to have the assignment agreement witnessed or notarized, depending on the jurisdiction's legal requirements. Additionally, maintaining a record of the executed contract is essential for future reference and as evidence of the assignment.
The 'easy' way to assign the contract is to have a one page document stating that for some consideration, the 'buyer' transfers/assigns the contract to a new 'buyer'. Executing (signing) the assignment and receiving 'consideration' (eg $2000 or whatever) would then extinguish your rights to the contract.
