Privacy of Wills Contrary to some states where wills are considered public records, South Dakota takes a different approach. Wills are generally kept private during the testators lifetime and after their passing. This means that the contents of a will are not available for public inspection.
An individual or organisation included in your Will is called a beneficiary. You may wish to leave all your assets (also referred to as your estate) to just one beneficiary or to several. Beneficiaries will often be family members or friends but can also be charities or other good causes that you want to support.
A valid will in California must be written, signed by the testator, and witnessed by two people. Holographic (handwritten) wills are allowed if they meet specific conditions.
There are legal requirements which must be met for a will to be valid in South Dakota. The law requires that the maker of the will be at least 18 years old and of sound mind. The will must be written, signed, and witnessed by two or more individuals.
If you die intestate in South Dakota without a spouse but you have children, then your estate goes to your children in equal shares. If you dont have children, then your entire estate goes to your parents, if they are living. If you dont have surviving parents, then your siblings inherit everything.
