TRUST SERVICES

We specialize in creating and managing trusts, leveraging South Dakota’s legal advantages to protect assets, plan estates, and ensure privacy.

Revocable Trusts

Also known as “Testamentary” or “Grantor” Trusts, these allow grantors to maintain direct control of assets. They are flexible, tax-efficient, and terminable at will, though they lack the legal protections of irrevocable trusts.

Irrevocable Trusts

In an Irrevocable or “Non-Grantor” Trust, the grantor transfers asset ownership for professional management. These trusts provide high levels of legal protection, confidentiality, and tax-efficient planning.

Trust Jurisdiction

The United States, particularly South Dakota, is now a leading jurisdiction for trusts, offering unique legal protections, tax benefits, and confidentiality.

Directed Trusts

South Dakota authorizes Trust Directors to have full control over trust assets, providing flexibility and tax advantages while maintaining asset protection.

Privacy

South Dakota laws ensure unparalleled confidentiality, protecting trusts from creditors, divorce proceedings, and other legal challenges.

Dynasty Trusts

South Dakota leads in Dynasty Trusts, allowing families to avoid taxes on transfers to future generations. These trusts can last indefinitely, unlike most states’ twenty-one-year limits.
