Willem;
This is called 'dying intestate' and there are certain procedures followed by the state in such cases. Basically, the state becomes the 'executor' of the 'estate' (whatever property the deceased has at the time of death minus any debts) and from what I can see the latest revision of these rules would be the Intestate Succession Act...Act 81 of 1987. There are lawyers on the board who know lots more than I can find out in a web search, but my guess is unless the lady in question is a close relative, those guns are toast.
Here is a very brief description of the process...
