Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (Wells Fargo) appeals the denial of its petition to quiet title as to unknown heirs of Larry F. Humphrey. Wells Fargo asserts it gave proper notice to any unknown heirs by publication. OPINION HOLDS: We agree notice by publication is sufficient as to unknown heirs, and no estate need be opened to quiet title. Therefore, we reverse and remand.
