Assignee status is initiated through the process of implementing documents such as the warranty deed, bill of sale, transfer notice of some sort as the result of gifting the property, etc. Further implementation of paperwork to acquire such a status would be redundant. If you are the assignee, you are the assignee, plain and simple.
If, on the otherhand, at least according to the homestead act, you are attempting to establish your 'entitlement' to a patent, that would definitely require further paperwork.
