Simple English definitions for legal terms

missing person

Read a random definition: property guardian

A quick definition of missing person:

A missing person is someone who cannot be found and it has been a long time since anyone has seen or heard from them. If someone is missing for a very long time, their family can ask a court to declare them dead and divide up their things. This is called the seven-years'-absence rule. A missing person is different from a disappeared person.

A more thorough explanation:

A missing person is someone whose location is unknown and cannot be determined after a reasonable amount of time. This can also refer to someone who has been absent for an extended period without explanation, which may allow their heirs to petition a court to declare them legally dead and divide their property.

  • A child who has not returned home from school and cannot be located by their parents or authorities.
  • An adult who has not been seen or heard from in weeks or months, and their friends and family are unable to contact them.

These examples illustrate the definition of a missing person as someone whose whereabouts are unknown and cannot be determined, causing concern for their safety and well-being.
