Activation Lock is intended as a theft deterrent. It is intentionally difficult to bypass.


We can’t help bypass it, and Apple will only help when provided with sufficiently-convincing proof.


For this case, here is: How to request access to a deceased family member's Apple accounts - Apple Support
