Apple's bar is still pretty high unless there's a legacy contact who can help with some shortcuts.

- Apple requires a court order.
- "Unless the next of kin knows the device passcode, Apple will not be able to remove the passcode lock on the device without erasing it."
This may be easier if there's a legacy contact. How to add a Legacy Contact for your Apple ID - Apple Support
