Find My Mac settings

I have bought a MacBook from another person who still has "Find My Mac" turned on with their Apple ID. How to change this to my Apple ID? Or will the previous owner need to disable from his end?

It was not properly prepared for resale

You can try here—

What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your Mac

otherwise, yes talk to your 'another person.'
