Hand over and Hand in
According to the dictionary we "hand in" to someone in authority and "hand over" to someone oficially or formally.
Examples:
I handed in the money to the police.
I handed over the money to the police.
Can' these two sentences mean the same? If I give something to the police, this is, from my point of view, something oficial or formal and police guys are people in authority.
Examples:
I handed over the letter to my boss.
I handed in the letter to my boss.
Here it happens the same.

You hand over responsibilities. If you are in charge of something for a certain time and it comes time for you to go home, you hand over to the next person who is in charge.
I'm sure there are better answers out there.
