After Death: Digital Rest: Guide to Managing a Yahoo Account After Death
The death of a loved one is a difficult ordeal, complicated by numerous administrative procedures, including managing their digital assets.

If You Don't Have Access to the Account
If you don't have access to the deceased's account information, the deletion process becomes more complex. You'll need to complete a Yahoo support form and provide several documents, including the deceased's death certificate, your ID, a letter explaining the request, and a document certifying your status as executor or personal representative of the deceased... A truly complicated task.
