'Assigned' in a contract refers to the transfer of rights and responsibilities from one party, the assignor, to another party, the obligor. Essentially, the obligor takes over the duties outlined in the contract. This process is a common practice, especially in real estate and service agreements within Miami-Dade.
NOTICE OF ASSIGNMENT Once a valid assignment of rights has been made to a third party, the third party (the assignee) should notify the obligor of the assignment. N.B. Notice that we say ?should,? rather than ?must,? because the assignment is effective immediately, whether or not notice is given to the obligor.
1. duty to notify - the assignee must notify the obligor that the assignment has been made and the performance must be rendered to the assignee. obligor is the parent that is required to pay the child support to the other parent and the obligee is the parent who receives the payment.
The assignee is the party that receives the rights and obligations under the contract, but wasn't an original party to the contract. An assignee usually receives the contract rights and obligations directly from an original party to the contract.
The ASSIGNNEE should notify the obligor. If an obligor renders performance to the assignor without notice of the assignment, the obligor has no further liability under the contract to pay the correct party which would now be the assignee.
Notice. Notice to the obligor is not required, but an obligor who renders performance to the assignor without notice of the assignment (that performance of the contract is to be rendered now to the assignee) is discharged.
An assignment doesn't always relieve the assignor of liability. Some contracts may include a guarantee that, regardless of an assignment, the original parties (or one of them) guarantees performance (that is, that the assignee will fulfill the terms of the contract).
Notice. Notice to the obligor is not required, but an obligor who renders performance to the assignor without notice of the assignment (that performance of the contract is to be rendered now to the assignee) is discharged.
