Apple ID of deceased

Apple Support told me I need a court order to reset my deceased father's iPad as I do not have his Apple ID password or access to his email. Is that seriously the only way? I have death certificate, SSN, address, etc. Going to a court seems pretty excessive.

How to request access to a deceased family member's Apple account - Apple Support


See this link. It seems like they sometimes needs a court order but sometimes a death certificate can be enough
