Practice question
If the owner is deceased and the estate unsettled after the required diligence, does Section 7(b) provide a court-deposit route rather than require the agency privately choose an heir?
- No; the agency must pay whichever heir arrives first.
- No; death automatically makes the land free.
- Yes.
- Only the agency’s contractor may receive the money.
- The statutory court-deposit route disappears.
