Estates Handled By A Ten Day Feast

Question: What if I want my estate handled through a Ten Day Feast?

Answer: The Probate Code respects the Ten Day Feast. You need to fill out the “Ten Day Feast” form available from the Surrogate’s Court.

Question: How are disputes resolved if my estate is handled through a Ten Day Feast?

Answer: The Longhouse will be responsible for resolving disputes arising from estates handled through a Ten Day Feast within eight (8) months of the death. If the dispute cannot be resolved by then, the Surrogate’s Court must resolve the dispute within one (1) year of the death so that the Speaker can redistribute the estate, if necessary at the One Year Feast.
