Title of property in case of missing owner

Hello,

There is a residential property in the name of a person who has gone missing since 4 years.

The legal heir is only daughter. the property was initially in the name of a husband and wife (50:50). the husband passed away years back and the share was transferred to the wife and daughter (25:25). so the property is currently in the name of wife and daughter. daughter is married and stays in the said property only. it is 4 years since the person(wife) has gone missing. now shall the daughter sell the property. what are the legal implications in this case? can someone please guide with this issue. urgent please

If has not been heard of as being alive for a period of seven years or more,it would be safe of purchasing the property from the legal heir or heirs of the person so missed.

Thanking you,
