Death in absentia ... in Austria
When: 1970s
Where: Austria (Technically, AU, but one closely derived from our own.)
Prior research: Wikipedia "death in absentia"
Does anyone out there know the Austrian law for declaring death in absentia i.e. where someone disappears without explanation? A prominent figure (someone on the order of, say, Linus Torvalds) just disappears; I need to figure out how long it will be before ownership of their estate passes. (As opposed to beneficiary control, which is covered by a power of attorney.)
Thanks, folks - this is exactly what I needed.
