Others have asked what is meant by a "court order". I suggest you contact Apple Support and ask them what is meant by that.
Contact Apple. Click here --> https://support.apple.com/choose-country-region Select your country, then a product. If you don't see one that handles your issue then keep experimenting with selections until you reach one that gets you a chat session or a telephone call and get the representative to redirect you.

Court orders are the means in which decisions or judgments of judicial officers are issued from a court. They can include: an order made after a hearing by a judicial officer, or an order made after parties who have reached their own agreement have applied to a court for consent orders.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/court%20order
"an order issuing from a competent court that requires a party to do or abstain from doing a specified act"
Other web sites from reliable sources say the same. Even though we are only supposed to rely upon Apple's documentation as the definitive source, I am assuming not every web site has been hacked and false information placed as to the definition of court order. So to me it sounds like you have to get a legal order from a judicial body telling Apple that the person is deceased and to turn over control of the person's accounts and equipment to you.
Thank you.
Deceased parent
