Common confusion points
Confusing 'Transferor' vs. 'Transferee': Know who is giving up the rights versus who is receiving them.
Not knowing if a simple address change requires this form or just an update notification.
Mixing up when the *agreement* date is versus the actual *effective transfer* date.
Assuming the Courts Service automatically updates everything without formal submission of 87.3.
