Whereabouts of couple of successors of ancestral property are not known. How to proceed for sale of that property?

Verify the property title and ensure all heirs are identified. Legal Notice to Missing Heirs

Issue a public notice in a widely circulated newspaper in the area where the property is located and the last known address of the missing heirs. The notice should announce the intention to sell the property. Request the missing heirs to come forward and claim their rights within a specified period (commonly 30-60 days).

If the heirs do not respond or if disputes arise, file a partition suit in the relevant civil court. The court can: Determine the share of each legal heir. or Appoint a court commissioner to divide or auction the property. or Safeguard the missing heirs' share until they claim it.
