New Hampshire Assignment of Contract for Deed by Seller
Understanding this form
The Assignment of Contract for Deed by Seller form is a legal document that allows a seller, who has entered into a contract for deed, to assign their rights and obligations under that contract to a third party. This transfer usually occurs in exchange for a discounted cash value, meaning the seller can receive an immediate payment rather than waiting for the contract payments. The assignee then takes on the seller's role and is entitled to receive future payments from the purchaser.

Usually the contract requires the buyer to make payments over time with interest payable on the unpaid balance. Once a buyer pays all of the payments called for under the contract, the owner transfers to the buyer a deed to the property.
Failure to record a deed effectively makes it impossible for the public to know about the transfer of a property. That means the legal owner of the property appears to be someone other than the buyer, a situation that can generate serious ramifications.
Contrary to normal expectations, the Deed DOES NOT have to be recorded to be effective or to show delivery, and because of that, the Deed DOES NOT have to be signed in front of a Notary Public.
