New Jersey Assignment of Contract for Deed by Seller
About this form
The Assignment of Contract for Deed by Seller is a legal document used by a seller to assign their rights under a contract for deed to a third party. This form allows the seller to transfer the contract, often in exchange for a discounted cash payment. The assignee then takes over the seller's obligations, receiving future payments from the purchaser. This form is distinct from other real estate transfer documents, as it specifically addresses the assignment of an existing contract.
