My husband died, and I need access to his icloud account. Did he make you his legacy contact? What’s that? A legacy contact is someone you name to get access to your account after death. On your apple device, type settings, tap your name, then sign in and security, and then legacy contact. He did not set that up. What do I do? Okay, so you’ll need a court order. No, you don’t, actually. In most states, apple will accept a trust or will naming you. Thanks, Milan. And here’s a copy of his trust. Click follow if you want to build your own.
