entrust
Place in care
To entrust is to give someone responsibility for something valuable or important, placing confidence in their care: She entrusted her children to her sister, He was entrusted with the company's finances.
The word implies both trust in the recipient and the significance of what's being handed over.
You entrust tasks, secrets, possessions, or people to someone you believe will handle them properly.
