Apple needs to see a copy of the death certificate and a copy of the will or a document that shows you inherited it.

You don’t. Apple does it.


Contact Apple Support, and request support on this. You’d probably need a death certificate or sorts. Then, maybe they can modify it all.

Note: Phone calls are taking a bit to go through at the moment, due to lots of calls. With the Coronavirus Pandemic, many are at home at the moment, with much time on their hands to contact Apple. So, just stay on the line, and you will get through :)
