    Did that person register the site under their username account?

    If the answer is no they can leave a blog. http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#leave-a-blog

    Or the blog’s owner can change their role or remove them.

    If the answer is yes that person did register the blog under their username account then they can transfer the blog to another user account.

    Every WordPress.COM blog has a sole owner. It is the person with the WordPress.COM username account who registered the blog under that username account and a single associated email address, and who is the original Admin of the blogs registered under that username account.

    If you do not have the required access and someone else registered the site you need to contact the person who registered the account and site under it and have them transfer the sites to your username account by using this process. http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account

    The owner of the site can transfer the site and or upgrades to another account.

    Thank you! I was on the right track. I emailed the link on transferring the blog to the blog owner, but was uncertain. As long as I have a WordPress.com login and password (and am also an administrator on the blog) then I have an “account” that the blog can be transferred to…correct?

    That’s correct, melepling. Once you are added as an Admin to the blog, the ownership can then be transferred to you. This process needs to be initiated from the current owners account.

    Let us know if you have any other questions about this.
