How to recover iCloud online storage space?

On your long list, add the closing of all accounts. Whether they are banking, medical, energy, they are digital.

Thus, you need to use the deceased's logins and passwords in order to manage his or her digital possessions with all that this entails: such as simply accessing the loved one's data in order to keep some of it as a memory, before proceeding to the definitive closure of the accounts.

Legapass has therefore created a digital legacy service for descendants.

By contacting LegapassYou will be able to access the data in the deceased's Apple account, as the iCloud storage space is an Apple service.
