Notice of Assignment
Understanding this form
The Notice of Assignment is a legal document used to inform a party, known as the obligor, that certain rights under a contract have been transferred to another individual or entity called the assignee. This form is crucial as it notifies the obligor that future payments must be directed to the assignee rather than the original party (assignor).
