I haven’t turned it on in over a year. I’ve just discovered my mother’s husband locked me out of it, with her Apple ID. Is there no way for me to restore it without involving lawyers? I’m guessing he locked it when things were bad, and thought I’d notice. But I didn’t need it, until now, as I’m starting a business and it’s a handy asset.

Hello,
The iPad is locked with Activation Lock. There is no way around unlocking Activation Lock without inserting the device’s associated Apple ID. Since this is not an option for you then you will need to find the original purchase receipt.
When you say “inherited” are you saying your mother has passed? If so, then you would then need the executor of the deceased's estate to take the device and receipt to an Apple retail location. Then and only then will Apple unlock Activation Lock.

Yes, I think my initial question covers both of your questions. Basically, I have to either let it go, or re-enter the legal world.
I inherited an iPad...
