§ 2767. Ownership without recordable title; proof of ownership—Deceased immediately prior owner; listing of heirs in initial brief; persons unknown

In the event that the immediately previous owner must be summoned, but has died, the petitioner shall list the names of the heirs in the initial brief if they are known, and if they are not, shall state that they are persons unknown.

It shall not be necessary to prove documentarily that they are heirs or successors, but those summoned must give to the Court, if they appear in the document, the names and addresses of other persons in the same position if they know them, in which case the Court may take the measures it deems proper in order to come to a more equitable conclusion.
