# §15.401. What happens after BIA prepares the probate file?


Within 30 days after we assemble all the documents required by §§ [15.202](/cfr/25/15.202.md) and [15.204](/cfr/25/15.204.md), we will:

- (a) Refer the case and send the probate file to OHA for adjudication in accordance with [43 CFR part 30](/cfr/43/part30.md); and
- (b) Forward a list of fractional interests that represent less than 5 percent of the entire undivided ownership of each parcel of land in the decedent's estate to the tribes with jurisdiction over those interests.
