#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 {{wpl|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. | |||
While the Ministry of Culture is in charge of registration and regulation, the day-to-day functioning of an Estate is typically managed by its members, with the ''potissimus'' or the 'most fit' at the helm. The ''potissimus'', who is typically the eldest male of the lineage, is entrusted with the responsibility of upholding the Estate's traditions, safeguarding its interests, and navigating its role within Caphirian society. Similar to Urcean Estates, every family in an Estate must have a legally declared head of household, which must be the oldest living {{wpl|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 {{wpl|ambilineality}} through the paternal line. | While the Ministry of Culture is in charge of registration and regulation, the day-to-day functioning of an Estate is typically managed by its members, with the ''potissimus'' or the 'most fit' at the helm.
