Which, going off of Draco's idea, would also involve the transfer of immortality that comes with being a Caretaker. It might behave in a similar way to Volta's Biscuit Bin.

Perhaps it forces the transfer? As you said, it could be done with paperwork and ceremonies, but maybe it alters things? Perhaps it transfers all responsibilities, titles, and artifact powers from one person to another. As an example, maybe it can take someone who is a manager at McDonald's under the effects of the Original Ronald McDonald Wig (just throwing out an artifact for the example) and transfer the position title and artifact properties unto someone else?

The only question is how or under what circumstances artifact properties would transfer. I would assume that it might not be able to transfer anything that requires the user to be physically attached to the object, or perhaps simply only offer "shadow effects" (partial, short-term effects of the artifact) for those artifacts. For artifacts whose effects are psychological, metaphysical, or certain others (of which immortality definitely counts), it will fully transfer them. So, to further example, the Ronald McDonald Wig's properties would only partially transfer because it must be worn to activate, whereas if it was used on Walter Cykes, it could transfer the properties of Collodi's Bracelet to someone else.
