Property registry laws
One of my friends' father purchased property GPA/SA/Will in 1988. All three documents are registered. Now my question is my friend's father expired recently (June 2013). First registry has been done by my friend's father. When my friend contacted the original allotted to come and sign the Sales deed, he is demanding huge amount which is out of his reach. He gives threat on phone. What should he do please advice with best possible ways to tackle such greedy persons.

If the registry was already done then the sale deed does not need to be signed by the seller again. The father of your friend became the absolute owner of this property if the property was purchased through the power of attorney in accordance with the law during his life time. Why is your friend even insisting that the original seller should come forward to sign the sale deed? It is recommended that your friend meet a local lawyer and get the power of attorney vetted by him to know clearly his rights in the property.
Since the property was purchased on GPA/SA/Will which was duly registered and the Original owner refuses to perform his part for registration of the sale deed, you should issue notice for specific performance of the Agreement to sell. On failure then file a suit for specific performance on the original owner.
