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?

MacBook Pro (M2 Pro, 2023)

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


Managing a Deceased Family Member's Device:

Transfer Ownership:

  1. 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.
  2. Contact Apple Support, seeing if you can get the info.
