The Minnesota Assignment of Construction Contract is a legal document that is used to transfer the rights and interests of a construction contract from one party to another. This document is typically used when a contractor is unable to fulfill the obligations of the contract due to unforeseen circumstances, such as bankruptcy or financial distress. It allows the new assignee to take over the contract and complete the work according to the original agreement. There are two types of Minnesota Assignment of Construction Contract: direct assignment and collateral assignment. In a direct assignment, the contract is transferred from the original contractor to the assignee with no additional terms or conditions. In a collateral assignment, the contract is transferred from the original contractor to the assignee, but with additional obligations or conditions agreed upon by the parties.
