Customary inheritance law is customary law that contains provisions regarding the system and principles of inheritance law, namely regarding the ways of transferring control and ownership of inheritance from the testator to the heir using applicable customary rules. Although the majority are Muslims, the Jalawastu indigenous people have their own arrangements related to their customary inheritance law which are different from the arrangements in Islam because the Jalawastu indigenous people still hold tightly to their customary law. The purpose of this research is to find out how the distribution of inheritance in the Jalawastu indigenous community and how to resolve inheritance disputes. The method used in this research is empirical sociological. The conclusion in this study is that the process of dividing inheritance in the Jalawastu indigenous community uses Jalawastu customary rules led by local traditional leaders and assisted by village officials. If problems arise in the distribution of inheritance, the inheritance dispute will be resolved by the Jalawastu customary leader with the assistance of village officials by conducting deliberations.
