Questions answered? Let's get started!

The form of a quitclaim deed in South Dakota (South Dakota Codified Laws, 43-25-7) requires, among other items, the grantor's signature and an acknowledgment of that signature. The mailing address of the grantee to the quitclaim deed and a legal description of the property being conveyed are both required at the time of recording (43-28-21). A quitclaim deed presented to a county recorder in South Dakota must be accompanied by a Certificate of Value.

Any person holding real estate under the terms of a quitclaim deed as defined in 43-25-11 will be deemed a purchaser in good faith and for a valuable consideration, unless the person had, at the time of execution and delivery of such conveyance, actual notice or knowledge of a prior unrecorded conveyance affecting title to such real property.

An unrecorded quitclaim deed in South Dakota is valid between the parties named in the instrument and those who have notice of it (43-28-14). In order to provide constructive notice to all purchasers or encumbrancers of the contents within, recording of the quitclaim deed with the county clerk in the appropriate county is necessary (43-28-15). Every conveyance of real property is void against any subsequent purchaser or encumbrancer in good faith and for a valuable consideration whose conveyance is first duly recorded. The Property Title in the South Dakota Codified Laws discusses quitclaim deeds and other real estate documents in further detail.

Multiple attempts to straight answers to very simple straight forward questions about why my submission is not being accepted have gone unanswered. It's been two days and no answer that solves my problem.

5 stars. Licensed to practice law for 25 years in multiple jurisdictions, the most dreaded part of doing what you already know how to do is researching again to make sure the legislatures have not changed the rules while you were doing something else. 22 bucks for this package is one hell of a deal and a real timesaver. Many thanks.

PROS: Quick communication. Completed the task expediently. CONS: Deciphering what was being referred to on the website when needing the proper classification wasn't clear. Had to delve through your unfamiliar territory. But managed. OVERALL: Got the job done swiftly and the end result was satisfactory. Will use again.

I found the process of downloading and completing the documents very user friendly. Thank you for the Declare Value instructions. It was easy to follow, though a sample of the declaration form would be very useful. I didn't know how to list my "capacity" so I left it blank so the recorder could advise me. Otherwise, thank you so much for being available for people who are capable of completing simple legal tasks without the expense of a lawyer. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Using the Administrators Deed, pay attention to "Exhibit A". The blank will allow you to type a full legal description BUT it will not save it. Use "Exhibit A" to type the legal description. The form was great and I filed it this morning with no problems.
