Assignment of Contracts and Agreements (Form B)
Understanding this form
The Assignment of Contracts and Agreements (Form B) is a legal document used to transfer rights, interests, and obligations under existing contracts from one party (the Assignor) to another (the Assignee). This form serves as an official record of the assignment, distinguishing itself from other contract forms by focusing specifically on the assignment of rights and obligations rather than creating a new contract. It is essential for ensuring that all parties are aware of the transfer and agree to it.
