Google GAfYD and Blog ownership problems

The issue: My client has a domain, for which I've built a GAfYD [Google Apps for Your Domain] account. The client also has a blog, with many posts, and with much traffic (in fact, it accounts for MOST of the traffic for the client's website!) Thus, we have, [client].blogspot.com and www.[client].com

Now, we have, www.[webmaster].com and [webmaster].blogspot.com (me). When I built the client accounts, I was logged on, at the time, to [myself]@gmail.com...

So it happens that, when I logon to the control panel for either [client].blogspot.com OR [webmaster].blogspot.com, I have administration for both! When I touch upon the domain management for GAfYD for www.[client].com I see that [myself]@gmail.com "owns" it.

I (and the client, of course) want to be able to transfer these to someone else, if for example I get run over by a semi or I get fired. Has anyone run into such a situation? I'd like to "cut the cord" for the client without losing domain/blog names and files! I've posted these questions on the appropriate Google Groups, with no answers, so I thought I'd ask, here...

I've run into all kinds of ownership issues when people leave companies or companies get purchased, and almost always it takes direct communication with the service provider. Naturally, there needs to be security to keep your stuff from being stolen or hacked.

I've spent a good bit of time trying to research your question, and it is not easy to find answers. I did learn that you can't change a log-in that already uses a gmail address after it's been set up ( see [help.blogger.com...] ).

All I can offer you right now is my sympathy and this bump to your post. I hope someone with related experience can offer you solid help.
