Notice of Assignment Agreement Template

NOTICE OF ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT TEMPLATE FAQ

What is a notice of assignment?

A Notice of Assignment is a written notice informing a counterparty that a contract, rights, or receivables have been assigned from one party (the assignor) to another party (the assignee). It identifies the assigned agreement, the effective date, and who should receive future performance or payments.

When should you send a notice of assignment?

Send it immediately after an assignment is executed (or as required by the underlying contract). It is commonly used when assigning contracts during a business sale, transferring receivables, changing service providers, or moving rights to an affiliate.

Does an assignment transfer obligations too?

Not always. Many assignments transfer rights (like receiving payment) but not duties unless the assignee also agrees to assume obligations and the other party consents (which may require a novation). This template is a notice document and includes optional wording to clarify whether obligations are being assumed.

What should be included in the notice?

Include: the original agreement name/date, the parties, what is assigned (rights, payments, deliverables), the effective date, updated payment or notice details, and a request for acknowledgment if desired.

Do you need the other party’s consent?

It depends on the original contract and local law. Many contracts restrict assignment without consent, especially for services. This notice does not replace consent if the contract requires it, but it helps document communication and provide clear instructions.
