Well, there is a specific law for this sort of problem
Article 112.1 says , i'll translate
« Art. 112. § 1. Wanneer een persoon sinds meer dan drie maanden niet meer verschijnt in zijn woon- of verblijfplaats en men van hem gedurende ten minste drie maanden geen nieuws heeft ontvangen en daaruit onzekerheid voortvloeit over zijn leven of zijn dood, kan de rechtbank van eerste aanleg, op verzoek van iedere belanghebbende of van de procureur des Konings, het vermoeden van afwezigheid vaststellen
When a person has not appeared in his home or place of residence for more then three months and there has been no news of him for at least three months and from this arised doubt regarding the life or death of this person, then the court can, by request of any party of interest or by the District Attourney, determine the suspicion of abscence.
Or simply put, if anybody who cares, requests the court, then the court will officially list him as "missing" based on the doubt caused by 3 months of abscence and lack of news.
That's what i asked to Court to do, eg , declare him "not found".
And the 3 month period, well, he left on 24/1/2011, last unconfirmed traces were early feb, 2011..more then a year ago.
The second part of my request was article 113, which states that, if 112 has been ruled applicable by the First cour and if nobody is in charge of his affairs through power of attourney, then the court must refer to people's(not sure hoe our different types of court translate) court,who will in turn assign a notary to manage things as a temporarily assigned custodian?
