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.

At first I didn't trust all the 5 star reviews. So, I contacted lawyers to check their prices. The price being well over one hundred dollars made my mind up. I gave it a go, the form isn't hard and the directions are easy to follow. 5/5

Assistance from the associate was good. He told me what I needed to hear and took the time to look up deeds that I was looking for. Though the deed was not available he gave me recommendation on my future calls to ask. Great personality and very helpful.

My sale is a land contract and it is complicated. We were thinking we'd have to get an attorney. Your site is very thorough and helpful. We will still have an attorney look over our final papers --and we are still waiting on my deed from the bank to finalize our input. Had several questions, but they seemed to be answered as I went along. The actual process of downloading and saving and having a link went very smoothly. Thank you.

Special Warranty Deed I can't seem to type all my info in the blank spaces. It won't allow me to type any more. Maybe you should consider either allowing typists to type more (leaving more space) or allowing more room to type more.
