Section 14-187 - Assignment of security interest(a) A lienholder may assign, absolutely or otherwise, his 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 lienholder as the holder of the security interest and the lienholder remains liable for any obligations as lienholder until the assignee is named as lienholder on the certificate.(b) The assignee may, but need not to perfect the assignment, have the certificate of title endorsed or issued with the assignee named as lienholder, upon delivering to the commissioner the certificate and an assignment by the lienholder of record in the form the commissioner prescribes. If the security interest of the lienholder is maintained in the electronic title file pursuant to subsection (b) of section 14-175, the lienholder may submit evidence of the assignment of the security interest, in such form and manner as the commissioner directs, and may request the commissioner to issue a certificate of title with the assignee named as lienholder.Conn.
