sorry, for your loss,


If you were in a family sharing group you can leave the family sharing group and add a payment method to your account.


Otherwise, you will need access to the Family Organizer's account to add a new payment method to the account used for payment.


If you were just borrowing their payment, thnen add your own first to your account, then remove theirs from your account.

If the deceased person's card was the one you were using and you need to update that, refer to this article If you need to change or update your Apple Account payment method - Apple Support Since you are using a Mac, go to the Mac section. It says: "If there's an issue updating an existing payment method, add a new payment method and then remove the old payment method"
