In the event that the assignor of a contract carries a burden or obligation towards the other contracting party, the assignor cannot assign the duties without the consent of both parties.
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.
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.
If you communicate clearly, then this is typically not an issue. This is because the seller has signed a legal and binding contract, which makes them obligated to fulfill the terms of the contract. You have every right to perform an assignment of contract when everything has been done legally.
Unless an assignment is prohibited in a contract, the outgoing party may assign their rights to the incoming (third) party without the consent of the other party to the agreement. A Letter of assignment can be used to affect the assignment and is signed by the outgoing party and the incoming 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).
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.
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.
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.
