Transfer by signature
To sign over something is to transfer ownership or rights by signing a document: She signed over the house to her daughter, He signed over power of attorney before the surgery.
The phrase implies formal, legal transfer—you're not just giving something away but executing paperwork that makes the transfer official and binding.
