Assignment of LLC Interest

An Assignment of LLC Interest is a document through which an LLC member can transfer their ownership rights.

If an LLC member wishes to transfer their ownership rights to a different entity for any reason, they'll need to submit an Assignment of LLC Interest. This document will be a way for the member to communicate this intention to other LLC members.

What Is an Assignment of LLC Interest?

You can use an Assignment of LLC Interest in situations where an LLC member wishes to secure a loan, settle a debt, or leave their LLC. 

In such cases, this document will serve to transfer the member's interest – which can be done wholly or partially – according to state laws and the governing documents of the LLC in question.

Other Names for Assignment of LLC Interest

Since the document's content takes precedence over the title, an Assignment of LLC Interest doesn't necessarily have to bear that name. It's also called:

• Assignment Agreement
• Transfer Agreement
• Interest Transfer Agreement

Who Needs an Assignment of LLC Interest?

LLC members may decide to assign their interest for several reasons. One of the more common reasons for assignment is providing collateral for a loan.

Another reason might be if the member needs to settle a debt, in which case the assignment remains effective while the debt is present.

Finally, a member can assign interest to their legal heirs. In this case, the assignment becomes valid upon the member's death.
