överlåten is a Swedish word that translates to "assigned," "transferred," or "ceded" in English. It is a past participle of the verb "överlåta," which means to hand over, assign, or transfer something to someone else.

The term can be used in various contexts, including legal, financial, and general situations. In a legal context, "överlåten" might refer to the transfer of ownership of property, such as a house or a business, from one party to another. This transfer is typically documented through a contract or deed.

In finance, "överlåten" can describe the assignment of rights or responsibilities. For instance, a debt or a contract might be överlåten to a different entity. This implies that the original party relinquishes their claim or obligation, and it is passed on to a new party.
