Contact Apple Support:
Normally, you would go to an Apple Store, setting up a Genius Bar Appointment to take place there, bringing along a death certificate. But, with the CoronavirusPandemic going around, many Apple Stores are closed at the moment. So, contact Apple Support, asking them how to proceed with this.
Apple Support Info:
Ask to speak with the Apple Store staff. They'll run you through the fix.
Contact Apple:
- Contact Us - Choose Locations
- Proceed from there as Necessary
- Why the Wait:
- Due to the Coronavirus Pandemic, calls and chats are taking a bit longer to get through. And, that makes sense, because many are at home working out-of-the-house or are taking classes over-the-web, this they have more time on their hands to contact Apple Support. So, it might take a bit to get through to Apple Support. But, just stay on the line, and someone will be with you. :)
