First you must define "reasonable and diligent". Are we talking about a legal phrase? If so, you need a lawyer who specializes in estates and inheritance to define what will satisfy the court/law.

Answer

"Reasonable and diligent" searches for heirs are often performed as part of an action regarding the title to real estate, especially "owner unknown" real estate. The standard of what is reasonable and diligent is generally defined by state laws both common law and statutory law.

The issue also arises in probate proceedings when the decedent's heirs are unknown. In both cases a diligent public records search must be performed and a public notice must be published. You need to consult with an attorney in your jurisdiction who specializes in real estate or probate law depending on your particular issue. You must follow the requirements in your jurisdiction.
