the relative will be required to file a form 709 (gift tax return), and if he/she does not, then you are obligated to file one. In most cases the form 709 does not require a cash payment of taxes, but does reduce what the donor can leave upon his/her death without estate taxes.
The donor should consult his/her tax advisor regarding this.
