I have inherited a deceased relative's Apple computer. I have the appleid and the password but two-factor authentication is turned on and, due to a lengthy probate process, a now-defunct Verizon phone number can't be accessed to receive the code. What can I do?
The following may help: How to request access to a deceased family member's Apple account - Apple Support
Assuming that you don’t know the passcode (or password) of the device … ???
Question: 2FA isn’t required to access a DEVICE ???
Regardless …
Attempt to login to https://icloud.com/ w/ the known AppleID and password.
At the “code entry” screen … and click “Didn’t Receive Code”
Select one of the trusted numbers to have the code forwarded to one of those numbers to which you DO have access.
See if the other methods listed here might help:

Thanks. I saw this article as well and was wondering if any other solutions were available out there. Not really looking to write to Cupertino by snail mail and present evidence, which I have, and wait forever for an answer. Thanks again.
