Dutch term or phrase: rechtsovergang
I am currently reviewing an earlier translation of the Dutch VAT legislation and the term rechtsovergang has been translated as follows in the following sentence

'de rechtsovergang van goederen tegen betaling van een vergoeding ingevolge een vordering door of namens de overheid'

the legal transition of goods pursuant to an order by or on behalf of the government

Is this a correct translation or should I use something like the passing of title or transfer?

Thanks for the help.

agree  Casey Dovale: transition is related to a change within an entity, e.g. a transistion of colours, whereas in your situation it concerns the "transfer" passing of products from one hand to another
