signing away
Ceding by signature
Signing away means surrendering rights, ownership, or claims through a formal written agreement.
The phrase emphasizes the finality and often the regret of the transaction: He signed away his share of the company for almost nothing.
What's signed away is typically valuable—inheritance, custody, intellectual property—and the signing makes the loss irrevocable.
