Claiming abandon distress properties

[Tokes Odumosu]

I have recently stumbled upon a property, which seem to be abandon and has gone through fire damage. Now i have done the due diligence of trying to track down the homeowner which in the title search seem as if they mite be deceased. Question is how do i go about trying to claim this property when it appears the homeowner is unreachable with no surviving relatives. What would be the process or steps needed in order claim this properties. Any advice or suggestion would be much appreciated.
