Your South Dakota land has been in your family for generations. Let's keep it that way.
South Dakota farm families need a plan that protects the operation and treats every child fairly. Succession Plan builds that plan, step by step, following South Dakota law exactly.
Available now in South Dakota.
Fair for the child who farms. Fair for the ones who don't.
When one child runs the operation and the others have moved on, equal does not always mean fair. Our planning tools let you model different ways to divide things. See the outcome for each child in plain terms.
Keep the farm whole for the child who works it. Use life insurance or installment payments to treat everyone fairly.
Documents that follow South Dakota law.
Every document is built for South Dakota. We follow your state's specific rules for signing and witnessing.
Last will and testament
In South Dakota, a will is signed in person with two witnesses. We guide you through the exact steps. Remote notarization never completes a will.
Living will declaration
Put your wishes about medical care in writing. South Dakota has a specific form for this declaration.
Durable power of attorney for health care
Name someone to make health care choices if you cannot make them yourself. This is a separate document from the living will.
Power of attorney (financial)
Choose who manages your finances if you are unable to. South Dakota follows the Uniform Power of Attorney Act.
Revocable living trust
A trust can keep your farm out of probate and give your family more flexibility. We track whether it is properly funded.
Signing your documents in South Dakota.
Self-guided signing
We give you printed steps for each document, following South Dakota's rules. You arrange the signing at your convenience.
Remote notarization
For eligible documents, a notary can join you on video. South Dakota allows remote online notarization for documents like your power of attorney. Never for signing your will itself.
Write down what only you know.
Your operational knowledge matters as much as your legal documents. Record the details: leases, grain contracts, equipment, water rights. If something happened tomorrow, your family would know how to keep things running.
Simple, honest pricing.
One payment builds your plan. Your first year is included. After that, a small yearly fee keeps everything current.
Plans start at $299. Every setup fee comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
