15+ Assignment Agreement Templates – Word, PDF, Pages
Have you ever wondered if it was possible for someone to take over a contractual agreement samples for you? Perhaps a successor or protege is to step into your shoes, or you are entering into a business partnership where you feel the rights and obligations would be better handled by the other party. Perhaps you just want to get out of a loan you have no way of paying, and someone offers to take on the burden for you. Instead of voiding your contract (which might be a legal breach and cause trouble) and having the person or entity sign a new contract, you can use an assignment agreement contract.
Assignment agreements will shift all your rights and obligations to the third party, your saving grace. These Agreement Templates will show you how and when this can be done.

cdn.shopify.comWhat Can You Assign?
What kinds of contractual relationships and obligations can you (the assignor) transfer to someone else (the assignee)? Quite a lot, actually. Here are just some sample contracts to show you the possible scenarios.
One most common scenario is for getting out of debts:
- You can shift all obligations of a debt you owe over to someone you trust, who is more capable to pay it off. This is done using some form of the Debt Assignment Agreement Template.
- Similar to the debt assignment is the Assumption Assignment Agreement, which is another way to get out of your mortgage by having a third party assume the obligation of loan repayment.
There are also times you will need to transfer intellectual property rights. This happens during company mergers and amalgamations, for instance. Some contracts to accomplish this role shift:
- Patent Assignment Agreement Sample allows the inventor to hand over the intellectual property rights of the invention to another individual or entity.
- This is similar to the Copyright Assignment Agreement Sample.
- Software Assignment Agreement Sample is another example where developers of proprietary software can then transfer all intellectual property rights.
Lease rights and rental obligations of physical property can also be assigned. (Although if you want to quickly transfer real estate to someone in your family, a quitclaim deed is the way to do it.)
- See Tenant Assignment Agreement Template and Lease Assignment Agreement Template for straightforward examples.
- See Equipment Assignment Agreement Template to temporarily assign the responsibilities of equipment to a subordinate, for example.
