    Did your friend sign the SAPS 271?

    You would need to speak to the executor of the estate. They now have the permission to sign the 271, provide the relevant copies of ID and death certificate.

    If you have any correspondence between you and the deceased discussing the sale, those and the proof of payment will go a long way to proving your story to the executor

    Yep. I think this may be the biggest issue you face.

    I was fortunate in a similar position to have that record.
