Can I save data from 2 appleID accounts on my MacBook?

My husband passed away and I am looking for information on how to save all the content in his aging iPhone and iPad devices on my MacBook - managing dual IDs so that I can access the data without having to buy new devices to restore the data to. Is this possible?

You should add his account info your account. All would sync.

Managing a Deceased Family Member's Device:

Transfer Ownership:

Transfer ownership of your husbands Apple Account to your account.* If his device were synced with iCloud, then you may be able to get it from is iCloud Drive, rather than directly from a device.
Contact Apple Support, seeing if you can get the info.
