Rule 120 Assignment of rights

When a party who claims to have a right to share as an heir or legatee of a deceased person assigns all or part of such right, the assignee shall promptly file the assignment in the probate proceeding. Any further proceedings to protect or enforce the assignment, or any claim based thereon, shall be prosecuted or presented in the name of the assignee and not in the name of the assignor. Said assignment shall be verified in accordance with D.C. Code § 20-102. Unless approved by order of this Court, counsel for the assignee shall not appear for or represent the assignor.
