Take a brief look at our trust services, including:

Trusts

Simply put, a trust can help you manage your property and assets. The trust will ensure they are distributed according to your wishes after your death. One of the key reasons to establish a trust is to avoid probate, which can mean saving time, paperwork and legal fees.

Another good reason to have a trust is because it’s contest-resistant. If someone is unhappy with the distribution of your assets, they will have a hard time challenging the wishes that are laid out in your trust.

South Dakota’s trust benefits are among the top in the country! Advantages include no state income tax, dynasty trusts, asset protection, directed trusts and some of the leading privacy rules in the nation.

Wealth Management

You can arrange by contract to have our trust department manage certain property, whether it be cash management involving buying and selling investments, or property management, such as managing apartments or farmland.

IRAs

Your assets will be invested similar to an Investment Management Agency. We ensure proper notices are made and tax forms are provided.

Retirement Plan Administration

Our team can help businesses manage retirement plans and savings goals for their employees. Whether you’re just launching a 401(k) plan or you’re looking for a new administrator, we’re ready to talk with you.

Guardianship/Conservatorship

We can step in if an individual is declared incompetent by a court, by agreement of family, by doctor evaluation, or is a minor. We then provide all financial services, including paying bills, investment services, bookkeeping, insurance claims, tax preparation and counseling.

Estates

Appoint us as Executor or Special Administrator at a client’s death to gather assets, pay final bills, and distribute the balance to the rightfully determined beneficiaries.

Deferred Like-Kind Exchanges (1031s)

We serve as Qualified Intermediary for a client that wishes to sell property and plans to replace it with a like-kind property. We will assist with the tax deferral on the transaction.
