Frequently Asked Questions About Assignment & Transfer Forms

An assignment of contract transfers your rights (and sometimes obligations) under an existing agreement to another person or entity. The original contract stays in place, but the new party (assignee) steps into your position. This is different from creating a new contract or amending the existing terms.
Use an assignment when one party is stepping out and another is stepping in, while the original contract terms remain the same. If you need to change the actual terms of the agreement, you may need an amendment or a new contract instead.
Many contracts require written consent before you can assign your rights. Check your existing agreement for language like "no assignment without consent" or "assignment permitted with notice." If consent is required, obtain written consent from the other party before assigning.
Yes. Our assignment forms are designed for broad U.S. use. However, some assignments—especially those involving real estate or mortgages—may have state-specific requirements for notarization or recording. Review your state's rules for your specific transaction.
It depends on what you're assigning. Mortgage assignments typically require notarization and recording in county records. Insurance policy assignments usually require insurer approval. Contract assignments generally don't require notarization unless specified in the original agreement.
Assignment of Contract is for transferring rights under a specific agreement. General Assignment is a broader, catch-all form for assigning multiple or mixed rights when no specialized form fits. If you're assigning rights under one specific contract, use Assignment of Contract.
Yes. All forms are provided in editable formats so you can add party names, describe the specific rights being transferred, include any conditions, and adjust terms for your situation.
Download the form, fill in the party names and details of what's being assigned, sign the document (notarize if required), and deliver copies to the assignee and any other relevant parties. For mortgages, you may also need to record the assignment with the county.
