Legal or business transfers of rights take 「譲渡」; 「譲与」 itself is for gratuitous transfers and tax-law usage. In everyday speech 「譲る」 covers yielding or giving something to someone, and 「渡す」 is simply handing something over. 「引き渡す」, 「明け渡す」, 「手放す」 and 「譲り渡す」 each describe a particular way of parting with something. 「収奪」 and 「没収」 are the opposites — taking by force.
