How do I go about getting into a Yahoo account of a loved one that has recently passed away?

My dad died on Dec. 15, 2009. I need to be able to get into his account to see if there are any online accounts that need closing, friends that he has that we need to let know of his passing, etc. How do I go about getting into his Yahoo account?
I am sorry for your loss. Yahoo is very strict about it’s privacy policy, even in death. Unless you know your fathers ID name and password, you may not be able to access his account at all. I suggest you contact Yahoo and talk with them.
