What happens if i activate a phone from a different account that is later cancelled?

My son purchased a Sony Xperia z3v on a new 2-year contract in October and has since decided that he wants to cancel that new account. I am planning on taking his z3v to replace my iPhone 4s on a different account. Since he was in town this weekend, he replaced the z3v on his account with an old smartphone and left me with the z3v. According the Verizon rep who activated the old device on my son's account, I should be able to activate his z3v on my account at any time.
Do I have to wait until he cancels his account before I can activate? I am planning on activating his z3v at a Verizon corporate store today, but he has not cancelled his account yet. If I do this, will the z3v be blacklisted when he does cancel the account? Or will it not be affected since he's already replaced it on his new account with an older smartphone?

That's correct. The Sony is free for activation now, and I am planning on taking it to the corporate store to activate this evening. My son won't be able to cancel his account until the end of the week, so I want to be sure his cancellation won't affect the Sony line if already activated on my plan due to the fact is was purchased as part of the new 2-year agreement.
I don't think the Sony would be blacklisted in this scenario, especially since he will be paying off the ETF immediately, but I want to be sure before I go activate.
Thanks for the guidance!
