Question

I’d like to transfer my deceased husband’s iCloud data from his iPhone, and his MacBook to my iCloud and Apple ID. Doubtful he made a Legacy account for me.

I’d like to transfer my deceased husband’s iCloud data from his iPhone, MacBook, to my iCould and sign on. Should I make an appointment to accomplish this? I have a death certificate. I just don’t want to lose all of his saved work on his iPhone. He also purchased a Microsoft office package for Mac that I have trouble using. I’d like to at least get his iCloud stored data on my iCloud.

Hello Molly09Maggie09,

Sorry for your loss. Regarding information stored in iCloud and accessing the information if you are a Legacy Contact and have an access key, test the steps below found in the article here: Request access to an Apple account as a Legacy Contact - Apple Support

"If your access key is saved in your Apple ID settings

On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:

Go to Settings, then tap your name.
Tap Password & Security > Legacy Contact.
Tap the person’s name to see more options, including viewing the access key or starting an access request.

On your Mac:

Choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click Apple ID.
Click Password & Security.
Click Manage next to Legacy Contact settings.
Click Details next to the person’s name to see more options, including viewing the access key or starting an access request."

If you don't have an access key, review the information here for requesting access: How to request access to a deceased family member's Apple account - Apple Support

Best.
