Wiping and resetting to factory settings my dead brothers iMac?

My Brother died, left no passwords or Apple ID. I know our family will be unable to retrieve any pic or info how do I Wipe and reset iMac without passwords? I have receipts, court papers and death certificate!

In general: Use Disk Utility to erase an Intel-based Mac - Apple Support


If Activation Lock is a factor you may need to obtain access to his Apple ID to circumvent it. For instructions please read How to request access to a deceased family member's Apple account - Apple Support.
