One of the fundamental principles of contract law is the right to assign contract rights to a third party. This is a corollary to the principle of "delegation," which involves assigning the duties under a contract to a third party. For example, Jack contracts with Jill to build Jill a house. Jack then assigns the right to payment for the house to Fred (maybe he owes Fred some money on a debt). This is called an "assignment." Contrast that with if Jack were to enlist Fred to build the house for Jill to fulfill Jack and Jill's contract, this would be a "delegation" (although possibly not a legal one if Jill entered the agreement specifically to seek Jack's special services). With the basic legal terminology clarified, let's move on to how lien assignments work in Minnesota.
Lien assignments work like any other assignments of rights under other types of contracts. Therefore, they are governed under Minnesota's version of the Uniform Commercial Code which is codified under Chapter 336 of the Minnesota Statutes.
Under the Commercial Code's rule on assignments, all rights of either seller or buyer can be assigned except where the assignment would materially change the duty of the other party, or increase materially the burden or risk imposed on the other party by the contract, or impair materially the other party's chance of obtaining return performance. M.S. 336.2-210(2). In general, as long as there is no increased burden or risk, or the duties required by the party subject to the lien somehow change, an assignment is permissible.

I use deeds.com for all of my document filing needs. The amount of time and money saved on making trips to the auditor's office is well worth the nominal fee that is charged. I highly recommend deeds.com!

My experience so far is quite good. Useful documents.
It would be very helpful if the labels on the files downloaded were in text format, like "Jurat" rather than "1429107022SF21141." It would save me the extra step of providing proper file names.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

5 Stars isn't enough! I worked with KVH today (12-30-20) to get some deeds filed in Dallas County before the end of the year. Timing was critical and I thought my only option was to record in person. Someone suggested I try Deeds.com, and I'm very glad I did. KVH provided excellent service. Everything was quick and efficient, and I highly recommend using this service. Thanks!

I am generally pleased with your products. However, I found it difficult to return to the package after accessing one selected document. One other comment: Your Trustee's Deed package should include a Certificate of Trust form.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

My legal description exceeds the avaiable space in the one page Exhibit A...any way to add a second page as 'Exhibit A (continued)'?
It is not required to use the included exhibit page. Simply label your printed legal description as the appropriate exhibit.
