Discussion on: How would you plan handover when someone in your team leaves?

You can offer him a contract as consultant for a time. By hours, just in case that a problem appears.

But I think that the best solution is the preventive one.

Encourage pair programming, or a second developer for every stuff developed.

In some newspapers they use to have peer-review, all the stuff developed for one should be reviewed for another random workmate. You may assign a review partner for every developer.

In general I don't advice to outsource tasks that can not be reviewed and fully understood by an internal developer.

For the people that go away, you can involve the substitute a period before it leaves. The first tasks could be documenting the existent code. If some question arises there is time for direct explanation.
