Transfer Apple iPad

I want to "Take-over" my wife's old iPad, keep all existing data /Apps etc, and maintain Family sharing..

Can I just change the Apple ID & Name?

no, no apps downloaded with her appleID would ever work


best path would be to do What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


and then use family sharing to keep the data

Family Sharing - Apple


Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support


What is Family Sharing? - Apple Support


if the ipad is still under her appleID it will never be yours
