Interesting case.  Should access to a deceased persons' email account be 
allowed to his family.  For access to a Yahoo Account only the person 
who owns the account can give permission, and as that person is 
dead...it is a bit difficult...to say the least.

ATB

Dougie.

P.S. Mind you, I thought that every Tom, Dick or Harry had access to a 
Yahoo email account...but there y'are...what do I know...:-)
