Questions answered? Let's get started!

A Contract for Deed is a Seller financing agreement:
The seller/vendor retains legal title to the property until the buyer/vendee honors the contract.
The buyer takes possession upon the terms set in the contract.
When the purchase price is fully paid, the seller delivers a Warranty Deed (or other deed) transferring legal title.

A South Dakota Contract for Deed is often used when:
The buyer cannot meet the terms for bank financing.
-For example, limited/poor credit history or nontraditional income.
Rural property or agricultural land is being sold, where traditional lending is limited.
The seller wants to sell quickly or avoid bank involvement.
Investment or estate sales where seller wants steady income and potential tax deferral.
Small-town or private party sales, common outside Sioux Falls or Rapid City.

It’s valid for both residential and commercial/agricultural property, as long as:
Both parties are competent adults,
The property is legally describable, and
This contract complies with SD recording requirements or offers the option to record a Memorandum of Contract for Deed.

The contract is binding when signed by both parties.
If the buyer defaults, the seller can either:
-Cancel (forfeit) the contract after proper notice under SDCL §21-50, or
-Foreclose it judicially

For use in South Dakota only.

I tend to not pay attention to the details and then blame other people. Thankfully Deeds.com has my back when I make silly mistakes.

I was very happy with this site. It included all the papers I needed, instructions, and even an example sheet to work from. The papers are now filed and done with ease. Thank you!

The forms were immediately available for download, which was nice. However, I was not impressed by the lack of several features: 1) there was no way to edit set text in the form, such as where it says you should consult an attorney. That is not necessary for recording the deed and I wanted to deleted it, but could not. 2) Also, under the "Notes" section, there is a limited area to write; I tried adding a fuller explanation of something, but the form would not accept or include it when I printed the final document. The form may do the job, but it's not very sophisticated or elegant.

This was very hard to follow, and the form looked horrible.

Reply from Staff

Sorry to hear that James. Some documents can certainly be more difficult than others. Your order and payment has been canceled. We do hope that you find something more suitable to your needs and aesthetic requirements elsewhere.

Bought a transfer on death deed form and it worked great. Easy to fill out and record with the County. Got some helpful information from the county recorders office before filling out the form. I found out that I could use one deed for 2 properties. Saved me money not having to pay fees for 2 deeds.

The warranty deed form, the explanation and the example were well worth the price, as they gave me more confidence I was filling the deed out correctly. I cross referenced all of it with the county registrars website and the previous warranty deed.
