The South Dakota Application for Certificate of Trust is a legal document that allows a trust to be recognized under the laws of the State of South Dakota. It must be filed with the Register of Deeds in the county in which the trust is located, and the Certificate of Trust issued by the Register of Deeds must be attached to the trust document. There are two types of South Dakota Application for Certificate of Trust: a simple application and a uniform application. The simple application is used for trusts that are not required to file the uniform application. The uniform application is used for trusts required by South Dakota law to file the uniform application. Both applications require the trust or, trustee, and beneficiaries to be identified, as well as the trust's purpose, duration, and trustee powers. The application also requires the trust or to sign a statement acknowledging the trust's existence and providing the trust or with certain rights and responsibilities.
