In all cases where real property escheats by law to the State, the attorney

setting forth the facts upon which the claim of the State to the escheat is
based.  Summons shall be issued as in other actions.  The attorney general
shall cause the summons to be served upon any person in possession of the
property, and shall also cause a copy thereof to be published once a month for three
months in a newspaper of general circulation in the State.  Upon the hearing of

substantiated by proof and sufficient in law, it shall make and cause to be
entered a decree declaring the property an escheat to the State. [L 1886, c 8,
