Talk to your lawyer. It will probably take a court order to do that.
Only her family can make such a request. They will require a receipt showing proof of ownership and a valid copy of the death certificate to take to a local Apple Store.
Thanks for your advice. The problem is the family attempted to unlock the phone too many times and now the phone is disabled. Can Apple still try to recover
