As Jojo said it is a tricky one, and it's something you should consider to be quite careful with.

If you leave the FC and there is nobody else valid to take over - someone who has been in place for 30 days - the FC is disbanded. If there is a house it is demolished and will go up for sale. If there was a workshop, it's destroyed too. If there is no house, all the ranks are gone.

As Jojo correctly said, if their old character is still in, then the leadership will go to them, then swap over in 35 days to the friend's new character.

But I would be super careful nevertheless. Safest in my mind, and what I would personally do, stay the 30 days they need to wait, and as soon as you can promote them to leader, then leave.
