In real estate law, "assignment" is simply the transfer of a deed of trust from one party to another.

Here are details on the process and what to do with the inherited property if you're the beneficiary. Estate planning is a complex process.
Yes, you can sell a home with a Deed of Trust. However, just like a mortgage, if you're selling the home for less than you owe on it, you'll need approval from the lender.
