How to unpair Apple Watch without access to Apple ID?

Following the Apple Legacy process I’ve been left with devices with an inactive Apple ID. The iWatch is paired to a legacy account-I’ve already gone through the process. That means I can’t use Find My (although it still shows up on there) I can’t use the iCloud account to get to Find My. I can’t unpair it on the actual iPhone because it requires me to input the Apple password and when I do that, it says the Apple ID isn’t active. On iCloud I can sign into the Apple ID, but I can’t access family sharing or find my. I tried calling Apple to see if they can get me a receipt using a shipping invoice and they refused since it’s my dead husband‘s name on the invoice and I don’t sound enough like a John apparently. I’ve asked them to do a criminal investigation if they think I’m a scammer. I finally found a back door to get a receipt. Now I’ve been waiting three days and they haven’t taken the activation lock off.

(What ever you do, don’t die under these specific circumstances. Don’t leave your family with no access to your Apple world. I can’t think of anything more to do to obtain access to the iWatch. Luckily I’ll be the next one to go and I turned off my legacy key. Oh. That’s assuming I own the things I’m leaving behind anyway. Nobody but Apple is worried about an iWatch and an old set of AirPods.
