§ 26-68.1. Proceedings to sell property of absentee after failure to locate heirs
Any duly appointed conservator of the estate of a person the presumption of whose death has been raised under § 64.1-105 or of the estate of any such person known to be dead after diligent, unsuccessful effort to locate the heirs of such person for not less than two years after the death became known or presumed, may petition the court having jurisdiction over lands owned by the decedent for permission to sell such land. Proceedings under this section shall conform as nearly as may be to proceedings relating to the sale of land owned by an infant. The conservator shall account for the proceeds of the sale, and the net proceeds, after disbursement of costs, shall be conserved in such manner as the court deems proper.
