assignability

Can be transferred

Assignability is the quality of being transferable to another party.

The term appears most often in legal and financial contexts: a contract's assignability determines whether rights or obligations can be passed to someone else.

The assignability of the lease depends on the landlord's consent.

Some rights—like personal service contracts—have limited or no assignability.
