Transferring info
My sister’s iPad was destroyed. We have her Apple ID and password, will we be able to access her photos and banking info, etc. if I set her up on an old iPad of mine?
iPad, iOS 9

Destroyed?
If the iPad will not power-on - and boot normally - then no data can be recovered from the iPad. The iPad has an encrypted filesystem; unless the iPad is running, data cannot be accessed or recovered.
If the iPad can be powered-on, these support pages detail the methods of transferring your data from an old to new iPad - the procedures being relevant to your predicament:
Set up your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support
Transfer data from your previous iOS device to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Use Quick Start to transfer data to a new iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support
If the donor iPad, from which you are transferring your data precedes iOS12.4, QuickStart will not be available.
“Transfer” is rather a misnomer. In reality, your data and setup is merely cloned to the new device. Nothing is moved or removed from the original device.
An alternative is to backup and restore using either an iCloud or iTunes backup to a replacement device:
