If there are no witnesses, what do you think you are doing.
I think in halacha, even if someone does pledge you money, if they die before they can fulfill their pledge, that jsut means they didnt get to. That money goes then to the sons of that man, and it is theirs!

Was the Rabbi so naive himself?
An oral pledge isn’t worth the paper it’s written on. It seems hard to believe that anyone would spend $800,000 based on an oral pledge.
