🔍 What is Transfer or Assignment of Title?
Transfer or assignment of title refers to the legal process by which ownership rights of goods, property, or financial instruments are conveyed from one party (the assignor or transferor) to another (the assignee or transferee). This is a fundamental concept in trade, finance, and asset management, ensuring clear and enforceable ownership during transactions.
In trade finance and commercial operations, title transfer establishes who holds legal ownership and the rights associated with the goods or assets at each stage of a transaction.
