My 80 year old mother has a website whose domain has been owned for decades by a friend that recently passed away. There appears to be no way to get the logins from his family. It is scheduled to expire in a few weeks.

Any suggestions? Just poach it once it eventually becomes available? But that feels like there will be a period where the site won't be usable. Surely this cannot be an unknown problem. WHOIS says it's registered with GoDaddy if that makes any difference.

Appreciate ya'll!
