The mother of deceased General Hospital actor Johnny Wactor is asking the court to require Apple to unlock her son’s electronic devices, which consist of an Apple laptop, desktop, and iPhone.

According to a report by Us Weekly, Scarlett Wactor submitted her request to the court on Friday, June 20, urging for an order that would enable her to gain access to Johnny’s devices.

In her role as the administrator of his estate, Scarlett expressed the necessity to examine the data to see if her late son’s computer and phone hold any financial details or assets.

Scarlett shared that she had reached out to Apple, but they informed her that their assistance hinged on obtaining a court order.
