Probating Trust Assets

The American Indian Probate Reform Act of 2004 (AIPRA), which amends the Indian Land Consolidation Act (ILCA), was enacted on October 27, 2004. AIPRA creates a nationwide Indian probate code and changes the way trust estates are distributed to heirs. AIPRA may affect ownership rights in trust or restricted land, unless the land is located in Alaska.
