Dear Sir or Madam,
It depends on the circumstances in which he dissapeared, it depends of his age etc.. Please be more specific in your query. Arts 181-197 of the SCC rule it and were amended by a new law paseed in 2000.
5 years if he was > 75 y.o.
10 years if he was < 75 y.o.
There are many specialties depending on the circumstances on which the person dissapeared:
3 months if he was involved in a notorious accident (plane crash or sunk ship)
1 year if his life was in jeopardy, under serious risk.
6 months if the remain of the plane or sunken boat cannot be found
etc.
Yours faithfully,
Raymundo LarraĆ*n Nesbitt
