That's why you should hire a lawyer. He might tell you that to
be perfectly safe, you'll have to get the private eye to determine
that the owner, his heirs, his creditors, etc etc are all dead; or
you can take a big risk and not hire any private eye at all, or
you can select how much safety you want to pay for. Part of a
lawyer's job is, in cases of legal uncertainty, to inform you about
risks of various courses of action.
