Stewards-Indigenous Resources

Stewards-Indigenous Resources (SIRE) has dedicated itself to addressing critical trust and estate planning needs for Native American communities since 2007. Our organization specializes in creating legally compliant estate planning documents under the American Indian Probate Reform Act of 2004, including Indian Wills, Advance Health Care Directives, and Durable Powers of Attorney. We provide direct legal services through mobile attorneys who travel to tribal nations, offering six to eight weeks of on-site support with customized solutions for tribal members. Our team of experienced legal professionals brings both technical expertise and cultural understanding to every engagement, ensuring proper inheritance documentation and compliance with federal trust regulations. We maintain strong partnerships with legal institutions to provide educational opportunities for law students while expanding access to estate planning services for underserved Native American populations.

Our executive leadership, including founder Ms. Roberta Armstrong, combines decades of legal experience with deep community connections to deliver trustworthy, culturally sensitive legal solutions. We emphasize transparency in all our operations, offering free educational outreach programs and maintaining strict compliance with federal non-profit standards. Our mobile service model demonstrates our commitment to overcoming geographic barriers in legal access, while our pro bono initiatives strengthen both community support and legal professional development. We maintain rigorous quality standards through continuous training programs for legal practitioners and students working with AIPRA requirements. Our organization's longevity and specialized focus establish us as a recognized authority in Native American estate planning matters.
