In theory, it's simple: Tied notes keep their alteration(s), and any new note in a new measure loses its alteration(s). In practise, my choir conductor got it wrong, stating that a new note on the second line from the bottom (or 'g' in a G clef) would be a g# because a tied g# led into the measure. Even though a few measure earlier there was an example of almost the same situation, but with a natural sign before the 2nd note in the measure... So, indeed, put both the cautionary flat and cautionary natural sign in in this case, just to make it clear what's to be played (or sung)!
