An assignment of contract is a legal clause that allows for one party of a contract to transfer the rights, obligations, and responsibilities of that contract to another party. The party who is giving away the responsibility of the contract is the assignor and the party receiving is the assignee.
Even if a written contract is not required, it is always a good idea to have a written agreement. A written agreement does not have to be a formal or complex contract, and it can be handwritten. It must contain the terms of the agreement and be signed by both parties.
