My father recently passed away and was the owner of the family group plan (shared with my mom). She is hoping to remove herself from the family plan and get an individual plan, but we want to ensure her personal iCloud content won’t be impacted in the transition before we proceed. Can anyone offer any insight or experience with this?

She should subscribe to her own iCloud plan before leaving the family group, to ensure she has adequate storage if she is using some of the family plan storage. Read this support article for instructions on how to upgrade to iCloud+ --> Upgrade to iCloud+ - Apple Support
