[Browse the store](/toolkits) Who it is for Anyone signing a power of attorney in South Dakota, the agent who will act under it, and family members helping on signing day. South Dakota has a statutory form (Statutory form power of attorney (SDCL 59-12-41)); the kit links it and organizes the signing around it. Not the right fit if The person signing doesn't live in South Dakota, you need the document written (that's a lawyer's job), or there's doubt about capacity or pressure from family. Not a power of attorney form or a legal service. Why it is different - Built only from our South Dakota power of attorney data file, checked November 2026 against Session Laws 2020, chapter 214 (SB 148), An Act to adopt the Uniform Power of Attorney Act (South Dakota Legislature); SDCL 59-7-2.1, Principal, designation, health care (South Dakota Legislature). - All 8 South Dakota facts are confirmed on an official page. - The act behind it: SB 148 (2020) adopted the Uniform Power of Attorney Act as chapter 59-12, for powers created on or after July 1, 2020. - For the estate side in South Dakota, the South Dakota Executor and Estate Kit: The entire estate less liens and encumbrances up to $100,000 (SL 2022, ch 88). The personal property affidavit can't transfer real estate; when all the South Dakota real estate is worth less than $50,000, a separate affidavit is used and filed with the register of deeds in the county where the land is. What is inside - **Start here.** The 8 confirmed South Dakota facts at a glance. - **South Dakota signing checklist, financial and healthcare.** Step by step in signing order: statutory form: Start from the official form: Statutory form power of attorney (SDCL 59-12-41); notary: Sign in front of a notary, who completes an acknowledgment; witnesses: The execution section doesn't require witnesses; agent's acknowledgment: No signed acceptance is required before acting; recording for real estate: Recording is allowed but not required; durable after incapacity: Include durable wording if it should keep working after incapacity.
