make sure you have all the source code in a secure place
make sure you have any/all account information for 3rd party services that are being used so there are no surprises
make sure you have all the login credentials for all services, servers and the likes
make sure you're ready to lock them out quickly upon letting him/her goif you have another programming resource available that is trustworthy, you may have them take a look at all the code they ahve written to make sure it is in a place that can be taken over by someone else, otherwise, you may be screwing yourself even further and end up with a nightmare. If it isn't, you might have to tread lightly and see if you can get them to document the source well enough to hand off.
just a few things that come to mind. not sure if they fit your situation.
most of all, try to make it as diplomatic as possible. the last thing you want is a conflict that results in them doing harm to the company.
