What is the name of your state? Georgia

As co executor of my Fathers estate, time has come for the second disbursement of funds to the estate heirs. Since the first disbursement, 1 heir has estranged themself from the family and cannot be located. What are my legal obligations and what is the normal course of action to attempt to locate this heir to disburse to them what is rightfully theirs?
Thanks for your educated response(s).

You can hire a lawyer or PI to help you locate this heir. When one of my cousins passed away, a lawyer was hired to locate a "missing" heir.
