    You can download whatever you want by signing into your own account, but what ever was previously installed with the other account will be forever associated with that account. This will work until the apps that aren't yours need updating and the only way to update them will be to sign in with other I'd.

    Legally, the other owner should delete her apps before selling the iPad, since she does not have the right to give you a copy.
