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.
