The registration and regulation of Estates are managed through the [[Ministries of Caphiria#Ministry of Culture|Ministry of Culture]], who coordinates with other ministries for verification and other validation purposes. Similar to Urcean Estates, every family in an Estate must have a legally declared head of household, which must be the oldest living consanguineous male relative. This usually takes the form of a grandfather with brothers serving as head of household for the entire family, but the household dividing into several upon his death. The headship of household passes ambilineality through the paternal line.  
The registration and regulation of Estates are managed through the [[Ministries of Caphiria#Ministry of Culture|Ministry of Culture]], who coordinates with other ministries for verification and other validation purposes. An Estate may be registered as a single family (''uno genere'') or multi-family (''altum radices''). In either case, the modern registration process involves an extensive genealogical examination using SNP genotyping and census data from the [[Censorial Assembly]]. This allows for a scientifically accurate familial database, portions of which become public data. Prior to the modern era, this registration process was only done with available census and self-reporting data. There is no fee for registration or testing.

Although Estates are not obligated to formally convene, for matters of dispute resolution or internal conflict any member may call a ''Distiona Aversus'' (lit. family discussion of conflict) at which point an Estate vote may occur. Given the sheer number of members in an Estate however, relatively few households appear in person for the vote, so ballots are typically sent by mail before the beginning of the ''Distiona Aversus.'' In most cases though, Estates limit voting to the oldest families or members.
