There are two different statutes governing probate of Indian estates.

• The governing statute is the Indian Land Consolidation Act as amended by AIPRA, available here:
  US Code Title 25 Chapter 24.
• The public law that is AIPRA is available here: American Indian Probate Reform Act of 2004.

The current regulations that would be affected by the proposed rule are the following.

• Title 25: Indians Part 15 – Probate of Indian Estates, Except for Member of the Osage Nation and the Five Civilized Tribes located here.
