I have a probate deal but I am stuck

Hey I have a Probate deal I have been at a stand still because out of 5 siblings I have only been able to get in touch with 3. After the mom passed the siblings lost contact with each other back in 2015 and with out the other two I don’t think I can move forward. The other siblings are good to sell, and they asking me is it any way around this. So I’m bringing it to you guys to see if anyone can help me out with this, or am I stuck until I find the other two?

You can hire a PI to go beyond "skip trace" and get to "where do they lay their head at night".  Be willing to spend $$. OR..

You can buy the shares you can get (outside of title), then carry one in probate court with a partition and sale suit.  OR...

Heirs can add a partition and sale suit inside the probate case. OR...

Have administrator appointed for the sale, get court permission, and request the missing heirs' shares from the sale be put in the registry of the court.
