Title holder 20 years deceased, no heirs; Power of attorney

Greetings,

The title of holder of this property I identified has been deceased for 20+ years, left no heirs, literally all family is deceased. Her longtime neighbor was power of attorney who paid the taxes, and has collected rent from 20+ year tenant.

That neighbor is also now deceased and her grandson, who was her power of attorney manages the property.

No title transfer ever took place. They've paid attorneys in the past to find any rightful heirs, only finding the obituaries of the title holders only siblings.

The grandson wants to owner finance the property.

What is a guy to do with this title situation? I'll be eternally grateful to anyone with a solution.

Any law firm with a meaningful estate practice should be able to come up with the answer.
