Questions answered? Let's get started!
This form can be used to assign either the seller’s interests or the buyer’s interests from a Contract for Deed, Land Contract, Buy-Sell Purchase Agreement, etc.
Benefits for the Seller (Assigning Their Interest)
When a seller assigns their interest, they are transferring the right to receive remaining payments under the contract for deed to another party (often an investor or note buyer).
Why a seller would assign a contract?
Immediate Cash Flow: Seller may receive a lump sum from the assignee (investor), converting future payments into immediate cash.
Eliminates Management Responsibilities: The assignee takes over duties like collecting payments, managing defaults, and conveying title when terms are met.
Reduced Legal Risk: Once the interest is legally assigned and recorded, the original seller often has no ongoing obligations (depending on contract terms).
Portfolio Liquidation: Enables sellers to exit long-term financing deals or offload multiple contracts as part of estate or investment planning.
Example: A seller assigns a $40,000 balance of a contract for deed to an investor for $32,000 cash. The investor now collects monthly payments and holds title until the buyer pays in full.
Benefits for the Buyer (Assigning Their Interest)
When a buyer (vendee) assigns their position, they are transferring their right to purchase the property (and duty to pay remaining installments) to a third party.
Why a buyer would assign a contract?
Exit Strategy: Buyer can exit a property purchase they no longer want, need, or can afford.
Profit Opportunity: If the property has appreciated or favorable terms were negotiated, the buyer can sell their equity and profit from the assignment.
Avoid Default: Buyer avoids foreclosure or forfeiture by transferring the contract to a willing party.
Flexibility: Allows creative structuring of deals, especially in "subject-to" or lease-option-style transactions.
Example: A buyer who paid $10,000 down and owes $50,000 may assign their contract to another buyer for $15,000, netting $5,000 profit.

Awesome site. Looking for a way to save hiring an attorney. Family doesn't have the money for that so this site is much appreciated.

I wasn't sure what I was looking for initially so I printed out the wrong thing. Had to pay again to get the right one but much less expensive than getting it from a lawyer. Our military lawyers will make the forms official but they don't have the forms. Hope this makes things easier for our children when we pass. Thank you for offering this service.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We have canceled and refunded the payment for your first order. We don't want you to pay for something you're not going to use. Have an amazing day.
