How do I reset an iPhone that I went to restore and now it says it’s locked to owner when I bought it at an estate sale and the person is Deceased
[Re-Titled by Moderator]
Ask the heirs and/or executor to perform the actions detailed here:
How to remove Activation Lock - Apple Support
Until they do so, the phone will remain unusable by you or anyone else.
Apple will not help you. We can’t help you.
Sorry.

Return This:
Seems you've been scammed, though a full-assumption on my part. Sp, ask for a return. If you cannot get in to it, then it will stay that way. So, request a return.
Return it to the seller.
The device is locked to the owner. 🔐
Selling someone else’s property is very risky.
