How do you turn off Activation Lock on a phone from a deceased relative?

My father passed away a few years back and I am just getting around to trading in his iPhone 6(?). However the Activation Lock is still on and I cannot proceed with completely wiping the phone. I do not have his old Apple ID or password. I appreciate any help.
