SIRE's Board of Directors and I congratulate you for considering creating an estate plan to provide great peace of mind for you and those you love. Researching the estate planning process for Indian trust lands can be daunting but we hope this website will help you with this important planning.
Writing an Indian will and developing an estate plan allows you to decide who will receive your trust and non-trust property and how assets will be used when you are gone.An estate plan also allows parents to name guardians for minor children. In addition to providing for loved ones, an estate plan can make your wishes known regarding healthcare decisions and charitable intentions.

I understand that your time is valuable and limited, so I will get straight to the point. According to the 2010 U.S. census, there are approximately 5.2 million Native Americans living in the United States. However, a significant percentage of this population lives in poverty, in part, as a result of lacking the information and means to preserve Indian estates.
