Also called an assignment and assumption. An agreement in which one party transfers its contractual rights and obligations to another party.
By statute, North Carolina allows one party to delegate- or assign- its obligations to perform some service under a contract to another party unless the contract prohibits assignment, or unless the non-assigning party has some substantial interest in having the originally obligated party perform the work themselves.
The assignor must agree to assign their rights and duties under the contract to the assignee. The assignee must agree to accept, or "assume," those contractual rights and duties. The other party to the initial contract must consent to the transfer of rights and obligations to the assignee.
