Wikipedia
escheator
Escheat is a common law doctrine that transfers the real property of a person who has died without heirs to the crown or state. It serves to ensure that property is not left in "limbo" without recognized ownership. It originally applied to a number of situations where a legal interest in land was destroyed by operation of law, so that the ownership of the land reverted to the immediately superior feudal lord.
Webster Dictionary
Escheatornoun
an officer whose duty it is to observe what escheats have taken place, and to take charge of them
