handing over
Passing to another
Handing over is the act of giving something to someone else, typically transferring possession, control, or responsibility.
The phrase often implies a formal or deliberate transfer: The outgoing president spent the week handing over power to her successor.
It can be physical—handing over keys, documents, a package—or abstract: He's handing over the project to the new team lead.
