Responsa על בבא בתרא 295:2
Teshuvot Maharam
Q. A and B lent money on interest in partnership. Subsequently, A withdrew from the partnership and gave his part of the loan to B. Is this transaction valid?
A. A healthy person can assign his loans to another only in the presence of all three interested parties, viz: the assignor, the assignee, and the debtor. This mode of assignment is valid only if the interested parties are Jews. Since in this case the debtor was a Gentile, the assignment of the loan was not valid and the accrued interest belongs to A.
SOURCES: Cr. 61; Pr. 150; L. 376.
