How to remove activation lock on iPad without Apple ID and password?

I need k advice and guidance on a challenge I've recently encountered with an iPad. I have an iPad that's currently locked with an activation lock, and unfortunately, I do not have access to the original Apple ID and password that was used to set it up. This situation arose because the iPad was handed down to me by a family member who has since passed away, and we did not realize the importance of having this information beforehand.


I understand the activation lock is a crucial security feature designed by Apple to prevent unauthorized use of the device, and I fully respect the intentions behind it. However, I'm now looking for a legitimate way to remove the activation lock under these circumstances so I can make use of the iPad.


I appreciate any guidance, advice, or experiences you can share. I aim to resolve this issue while respecting all legal and ethical considerations surrounding the use of Apple devices.


Thank you very much for your time and help.

iPad Pro (4th generation)
