A page ownership on Facebookcan easily be transferred from one Facebookaccount to another.
In order to do so, another Page Admin has first to be defined for the page, and it is then possible to remove the other Admin, even when it is oneself.
First, open the Page from the administrator’s profile, and find the Settings menu.
Opening a page and going to Settings
There, find the Page Roles menu entry
Find the Page Roles menu in page settings
Scroll down to the Assign a New Page Role section, and look for the person that has to be added as Admin
Select new admin from Facebook usersSelect role for the new admin
Select the corresponding role, Admin, and click on Add
Add the new admin
There are now 2 admins – the previous and new one, and it is possible to delete the previous one by pressing Edit button, and then Remove button in the options uncovered
Edit the admin to removeRemove an administrator
Confirm the operation – and it is done ! The new Admin can now administer the page, and the previous admin has no access to it anymore.

Ummm you do know your post has nothing to do with page ownership which people are having trouble with. Your title is misleading and should be changed to Admin instead, if you know how to help with “ownership” then go for it.
Hello, admin is the highest role – if the page creator (at first the only admin) adds an admin and removes himself, ownership has been been fully changed.
This is what is shown in the article with a complete example.
agreed – only shows admin NOT ownership removal. Poor article.
Agreed that this page is misleading. I am also looking for how to remove ownership, not remove admin status. Has anyone determined how to transfer page ownership to another user?
Hello, this is what the page is explaining. Admin owns the page.
@ybierling I am looking to change the “PAGE OWNER” and not Page admin.
@Anon @Molly did you guys find if you can change the Pager owner ? I having difficulty creating an Ad Account for a client because I am the Page owner.
