Description

An Assignment of Judgment is used when one party wishes to assign his/her rights to a Judgment over to another individual. Such an assignment may be made for purposes of collection or in payment of a debt. Pennsylvania Assignment of Judgment refers to the legal process in which the right to collect on a court-awarded judgment is transferred or assigned from the original judgment holder (the assignor) to another party (the assignee). This assignment allows the assignee to pursue collection actions and attempt to recover the amount owed by the judgment debtor. In Pennsylvania, there are primarily two types of Assignment of Judgment: 1. Absolute Assignment of Judgment: This type of assignment involves a complete transfer of all rights, title, and interest in the judgment to the assignee. The original judgment holder relinquishes all control and ownership over the judgment amount and allows the assignee to take over the collection process. Once the absolute assignment takes place, the assignor no longer has any claim or involvement in the judgment collection. 2. Collateral Assignment of Judgment: In a collateral assignment, the assignor transfers a portion of the judgment proceeds to the assignee as security for a debt or obligation. It allows the assignor to retain some interest in the judgment, as the assignee has a claim only to the specified portion of the proceeds. Collateral assignments are often used in situations where the assignor owes a debt to the assignee, and the assignee seeks assurance of repayment. Alternatively, an assignment of judgment can also be categorized based on the nature of the judgment being assigned, such as: 1. Money Judgment Assignment: This type of assignment involves the transfer of a judgment where the court has awarded the payment of a specific amount of money to the judgment creditor. The assignee becomes the new rightful creditor and pursues collection actions to recover the debt owed. 2. Judgment Lien Assignment: In cases where the court has granted a judgment lien against the judgment debtor's property, this type of assignment transfers the rights of the judgment lien to the assignee. The assignee then gains the authority to enforce the lien and pursue foreclosure or sale of the debtor's property to satisfy the judgment amount. In summary, Pennsylvania Assignment of Judgment is the process of transferring the rights to collect on a court-awarded judgment from the original judgment holder to another party. The two primary types of assignments include absolute assignment and collateral assignment. Additionally, assignments can be categorized based on the nature of the judgment, such as money judgment and judgment lien assignments.
