Assumption of debt

An assumption of debt is an operation according to which a third party undertakes, before the creditor, to perform the obligation of another party.

The debtor can be replaced: a) by a contract between the old debtor and the new debtor, ratified by the creditor or b) by a direct contract between the new debtor and the creditor, irrespective of the consent of the former debtor.
