Someone unpronounceable (jwcpgh) asked:

Is there any canon that has an established secret-keeper "transferring" the
secret? Or do you mean simply "telling" someone? Because you clearly *can*
reveal it without losing knowledge of it--Dumbledore told Harry, and all the
other members of the Order, where the headquarters was, without forgetting
it himself.

As to whether you can give the place you, as secret-keeper, hold in the
spell to another secret-keeper, I'd say it's not possible without recasting
the spell. Just my opinion.
