If any person has died, or shall hereafter die, who at the time of the person’s death was the owner of a life estate which terminates by reason of the person’s death, any person interested in the property, or in the title thereto, in which such life estate was held, may file in the district court of the county in which the property is situated, the person’s verified petition, setting forth such facts, and thereupon and after such notice by publication or otherwise, as the court or judge may order, the court or judge shall hear such petition and the evidence offered in support thereof, and if upon such hearing it shall appear that such life estate of such deceased person absolutely terminated by reason of the person’s death, the court or judge shall make an order to that effect, and thereupon a certified copy of such order may be recorded in the office of the county recorder.
