Mac app store needs my apple id?

I have recently switched computers and have given my old macbook to a family member. I deleted my home folder and account and they made their own. However I left all of my apps on the mac. and now when they try to update them, they need my apple id? How do I fix this so that they can use their own instead of mine?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

All the applications you purchase on the App Store are registered to your Apple ID, so you have to use your Apple ID to update them, or you have to purchase those applications again using the Apple ID they are using on that computer, so they will be able to update them
