Assigning Estate Contract Interests

Summary

Assigning an estates interest in retail contracts to a third party, such as the Texas Secretary of States office, requires careful review of contract terms to ensure assignment is permissible. If the contract, like Google Fis terms of service, lacks assignment limitations, explicit consent from the other party may still be necessary. As the attorney in fact, verify your legal authority to make such assignments and ensure compliance with Texas state laws. Sending a written notice with a consent clause to the involved party, using precise legal language, can help satisfy consent requirements. Follow up if needed and consider consulting a legal professional for personalized advice.

Amicus, you’ll need to know the specifics about the estate's interests and the contracts involved. Here’s a key question to help move forward:
Have you reviewed the terms of these retail contracts to determine if they allow for assignment to a third party, such as the Texas Secretary of State's office?
There is nothing mentioned about limitations on assignment in the google Fi terms of service
Amicus, here are some general points to consider:
- Contract Review: If the Google Fi terms of service don't mention limitations on assignment, it might be permissible. However, explicit consent from Google Fi might still be required.
- Legal Authority: You may need to verify that you have the legal authority to assign these contracts as the attorney in fact.
- State Law Compliance: Ensure that the assignment aligns with Texas state laws and the Secretary of State's policies.
Would you like more information on how to proceed with getting consent from Google Fi or understanding state compliance?
Could I simply send Google Fi a notice with a consent clause to satisfy the consent requirement?
Amicus, you may send a notice with a consent clause to Google Fi, but it’s important to follow a few guidelines:
- Written Notice: Make sure the notice is in writing and clearly outlines the assignment.
- Explicit Consent: Request explicit consent from Google Fi for the assignment.
- Legal Language: Use precise legal language in the notice.
- Follow-Up: Be prepared to follow up in case further communication is needed.
