Unless otherwise provided by Federal law, the agency that has jurisdiction over the tribe with the strongest association with the decedent will serve as the home agency and will prepare the probate file if the decedent owned interests in trust or restricted land or trust personalty and either:
(a) Was not an enrolled member of a tribe; or
(b) Was a member of more than one tribe.
