There is a method through the probate court, if aperson has been missing for a specific number of years. Obviously, it requires due diligence in trying to locate the person before the court will transfer any propertry out of their name, or declare them deceased. You might do well to confer directly with an attorney who has access to more information from you to determine if your situation coudl fit within the guidelines.

Good luck
