Deductions & credits

My friend passed away. He left everything he had to me. I’m the Administrator, executorand the benefactor of his estate. I a sense, I am him. 
The bank refused to send me a 1098 mortgage interest statement because the original owner of the loan passed away. They said the IRS doesn’t require them to do so. Is this true? I paid the loan on time for six years at a whopping 12.5% interest.
