Owner died without known heirs--we manage the property.

[Marc Winter]

Hello All,

We manage a 2-family house in Luzerne county PA.  Recently found out the owner, an older, single man, passed a few weeks ago.  We have no emergency contact info, and our background trace shows no relatives associated with his name.  We will be keeping rent collected in an escrow account.  Does anyone have experience on how to track down whether there was a will, or if he died intestate?  I expect to have to use a lawyer, but hopefully can get some preliminary leg-work done before going on the clock.  Thanks!
