If you are in the US, once there is a 50% change in ownership, the partnership ceases to exist and a final tax return must be filed. The elder cousin and your sister would form a new partnership. It would need a new federal ID and bank accounts. This is a complicated matter and they should consult with their attorney and accountant.
