relinquisher
Person letting go
A relinquisher is someone who gives something up or lets it go—a claim, a possession, a right, or control over something.
The word carries a sense of voluntary surrender: The relinquisher of the throne lived out his days in exile.
It appears most often in legal or formal contexts.
