If you are referring to activating the phone and it is asking for the iCloud ID and password, you will need to provide an original copy of the purchase receipt, a copy of the death certificate and something showing that you are the legal recipient of the device. Bring that to a physical Apple Store and ask for assistance.

You don't. You get the satisfaction of knowing that you returned stolen property, which in many jurisdictions, could result in your arrest for its possession. And your sale of stolen property makes you just as liable as the person that stole it. Unless you are in the mood for legal problems, your best bet is to turn it in.
