To assign is to ______ property or interest in the property.

• A. Transfer
• B. Sell
• C. Lease
• D. Grant

Answer: (A)

Assignment in property law is the act of transferring property rights or an interest in the property to another party. When you assign something, you are moving those rights from you to someone else, rather than creating new rights or exchanging full ownership for money. That makes “transfer” the best fit because it captures the idea of passing along an existing right or stake in the property. The other options don’t fit as well: selling implies a complete transfer of ownership for value, leasing is about temporary use rights, and granting is about conveying broader rights or ownership via a deed rather than simply moving an existing interest.
