Hello. I have 2 iPhones, and 2 iPads. They are under one Apple ID. The problem I have is that my wife has died and the Apple ID is under her name. The bank card associated is under her name also. Can I change the Apple ID on all the devices to my name, my bank details, without loss of services?

Apple says:
"While we may also be able to help remove Activation Lock from devices that use your loved one’s original Apple ID, their iPhone, iPod, and iPad will need to be restored to factory settings before they can be used with another Apple ID. Please note that devices locked with a passcode are protected by passcode encryption, and Apple can't help remove the passcode lock without erasing the device."
