My partner who was the 'leader' of our icloud account, passed away this year. I would like to close his part of the account and continue on my own but would like to download any photos etc that are stored. How do I go about that. I have access.?

We have a family sharing iCloud account. My partner who was the main person passed away this year. I would like to change this arrangement and download photos etc before changing to be just in my name. I have access to it all. How do I go about this?"

Transferring Data:

Two Things that may Work:

A. Start Here: Transfer a Copy of your iCloud Photos Collection to Another Service - Apple Support

B. Transfer Ownership:

1. Transfer ownership of your partner's Apple Account to whomever's account.*
2. Contact Apple Support, seeing if she can get the info.**

* Go Here: How to Request Access to a Deceased Family Member's Apple Account - Apple Support

**Apple Contact Info:

• Contact Us - Choose Locations
• Proceed from there, as necessary
• Why the Wait: Phone calls are taking a bit to go through at the moment, due to lots of calls. With the Coronavirus Pandemic, many are at home at the moment, with much time on their hands to contact Apple. So, just stay on the line, and you will get through :)
