33.05.050 Assignment of Security Interest

A secured party may assign, absolutely or otherwise, a security interest in the vehicle to a person other than the owner without affecting the interest of the owner or the validity of the security interest, but any person without notice of the assignment is protected in dealing with the security party as the holder of the security interest, and the secured party remains liable for any obligations as a secured party until the assignee is named as secured party on the certificate.

The assignee may, to perfect the assignment, have the certificate of title endorsed or issued with the assignee named as secured party, upon delivering to the Director the certificate and an assignment by the secured party named in the certificate in the form.
