How to switch a DEED?

[Terrell Sapp]

Calling back a number that responded to my direct mail campaign, I spoke with the home owners nephew. He tells me a weird bind  they're in. They've been living in the home now for 5 years but the home is in the name of another person which they haven't heard from in years. It's to the point they don't know whether the person is alive or not! 

Does anyone know a way to take a deed from a person who can't be contacted and switch it to a person who lives in the address now?

All help is truly appreciated, this could be a wholesale deal and great know-how.

@Terrell Sapp While it is often used for scams, this seems like a classic legit case for adverse possession. I assume they have been paying the taxes? Talk to a local lawyer as laws vary. No legal advice here.
