Assignees may nominate a spouse to hold a life estate for the remainder of the land assignment period in event of their death, upon approval by Council.

(a) An assignee may nominate a beneficiary heir for the land assignment, so long as the beneficiary is otherwise eligible. When the assignee dies, the beneficiary will have to confirm their interest in the assignment and complete whatever documentation is needed by the Department for the land assignment. The designated beneficiary on file will control the disposition of the land assignment.

(b) If a dispute arises over the transference of the land assignment, Council will make the final decision, which may include terminating the assignment or referring the matter to Tribal Court. [Ord. 79 § 1011, amended, 6/23/2022.]
