Abstract: The Secretary of the Interior 

probates the estates of individual 

Indians owning trust or restricted 

property in accordance with 25 U.S.C. 

372–373. In order to compile the 

probate file, the BIA must obtain the 

family heirship data regarding the 

deceased from individuals and the tribe. 

This section contains the procedures 

that the Secretary of the Interior follows 

to initiate the probate of the trust estate 

for a deceased person who owns an 

interest in trust or restricted property. 

The Secretary must perform the 

necessary research of family heirship 

data collection requests in this part to 

obtain the information necessary to 

compile an accurate and complete 

probate file. This file will be forwarded 

to the Office of Hearing and Appeals 

(OHA) for disposition. Responses to 

these information collection requests are 

required to create a probate file for the 

decedent’s estate so that OHA can 

determine the heirs of the decedent and 

order distribution of the trust assets in 

the decedent’s estate.
