I just don’t understand how you take someone who is dead, and there is proof of their death, and start living as them.

To be clear, I understand the whys; I don’t understand the logistics.

    That’s not what identity theft is.
    That term is used for impersonating someone else, but generally only for a time and usually online, not in person.
    For example, someone gets access to your unlocked phone and uses that to insult your boss on social media in your name, order stuff with your banking details, or sign up for credit cards.
