If you want to do it all right:
Her cousin has to read -> this Apple article: What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Then he has to remove the iPhone from his account, see this Apple article:
Check your Apple ID device list to see where you're signed in
