A Chicago probate court judge has declared adventurer Steve Fossett to be legally dead.
Fossett disappeared in Nevada in September on what was supposed to be a brief flight in a single-engine plane. He and the plane have not been seen since.
Fossett’s assets can now be divided according to his will. Agence France-Presse reports that Fossett had amassed a fortune “surpassing eight figures in liquid assets, various entities and real estate.”
