Best Answer

When a person dies owning property and there are no known heirs the property 'escheats' to the state.

If one of several heirs can't be found their portion can be placed in an interest bearing account supervised by the court. If there is real property involved the executor must obtain a license to sell the real estate and the missing heirs portion can be placed in an account as stated above.
