In most cases, a contract assignment does not require consideration to be valid, unless there is a clause in the original contract stating otherwise. Additionally, an assignment can be oral and does not need to be in writing to be enforceable, as long as it otherwise meets the requirements for a contract (offer, acceptance, consideration). While it is generally better to have written documentation for assignments, it is not strictly necessary. As a gift assignment, there was no consideration from Will, but this is not required for the assignment to be valid.
