Sometimes, a novation is called a ?Hail Mary? defense for someone trying to avoid contractual liability. To establish novation, however, requires a rather high standard. By contrast, assignment and assumption only transfer a party's contractual rights and benefits.

Assignment v novation The most notable difference is that assignment only transfers the benefit of a contract (e.g. a warranty that works have been carried out to the required standard), whereas a novation transfers both the benefit and the burden (e.g. an obligation to pay for a service).

With an assignment sale, the assignor must report any profit realized from an assignment sale in the tax year in which the right is assigned. The profit will either be treated as fully taxable business income, which is fully taxable, or income from a capital gain, only 50% of which is taxable.

An assignment of contract occurs when one party to an existing contract (the "assignor") hands off the contract's obligations and benefits to another party (the "assignee"). Ideally, the assignor wants the assignee to step into his shoes and assume all of his contractual obligations and rights.

An assignment of contract involves transferring a real estate contract from an original party (also known as the real estate wholesaler or assignor) to a new party (also known as the assignee). It is also referred to as an ?Assignment of Real Estate Purchase and Sale? agreement.

Assignment contracts don't involve transferring or selling the property directly like a purchase agreement. Instead, the buyer under the original purchase agreement (the assignor) assigns their rights and obligations under the purchase agreement to the assignee, sometimes for a profit.
