South Dakota Last Will & Testament
Last reviewed: by MicroDocs editorial
A South Dakota Last Will & Testament tells the people you love — and a South Dakota probate court — exactly who inherits what, who raises your minor children, and who is in charge of carrying out your wishes. Without one, South Dakota intestacy law decides for you, and the result is rarely what you would have chosen.
About the South Dakota Last Will
Our Last Will template is built around the South Dakota Estates Code so it covers the formalities South Dakota probate courts look for: a clear declaration, a named executor, named beneficiaries, a guardianship clause for minor children, and the witness/notary block needed for self-proving wills in South Dakota.
You answer a short, plain-English questionnaire and we generate the finished document instantly as a clean PDF you can print, sign with two witnesses, and notarize. No attorney waiting room, no $1,500 retainer, no subscription.
The will is included in both the Core Estate Plan and the Premium Estate Plan, alongside the supporting documents (Powers of Attorney, HIPAA Authorization, Directive to Physicians, and more) most South Dakota adults need on the same day they sign the will.

Yes. The template is drafted to comply with the South Dakota Estates Code requirements for a written will: it names an executor, names beneficiaries, addresses minor children, and includes the witness and notary blocks South Dakota accepts for a self-proving will. After you sign in front of two witnesses and a notary, it is a valid South Dakota will. MicroDocs is a document preparation service, not a law firm — review with a South Dakota attorney for complicated estates.
The Last Will is included in the $499 Core Estate Plan and the $699 Premium Estate Plan — there is no separate à la carte price because the will is rarely useful without the matching Powers of Attorney and HIPAA Authorization. The plan is a one-time fee, not a subscription, and you can regenerate the documents up to five times to fix typos.
Yes for both. South Dakota requires two competent witnesses to watch you sign, and a notary to make the will self-proving (which means probate doesn't have to drag your witnesses back into court years later). The Execution Checklist we generate alongside the will walks you through exactly who has to sign where, and the Notary Guide tells you where to find a South Dakota notary for $6–$15.
Yes. You can regenerate the document from your MicroDocs dashboard up to five times within the same plan, which is the right answer for typo fixes or a new beneficiary. For larger life changes (divorce, a new child, a move out of South Dakota), a fresh plan is the cleaner path.
