<p class="MsoNormal">I am handling a case where the estate consists of a mobile home and few small bank accounts. I would like to use a small estate affidavit and have all of the successors sign off on the plan. However, one of the four successors entitled
to the property is missing. He has not been heard from in about five years. An investigator was hired to find this missing person but found nothing.
