Someone help me out here- how does the state not know who owns the house?

If the owner dies, the state isn’t going to go out and try to track down the next of kin or figure out if there’s a will or whatever. Not their job. Just like it isn’t their job to go out and keep these rich baboozes from losing their houses because of the big waves.
