For Legal Professionals

Independent Trust Company partners with attorneys who want to provide their clients the advantages of South Dakota trust law without serving as trustee.

We handle the fiduciary administration, giving your clients
access to one of the nation’s most flexible and well-regarded
trust jurisdictions.

Our role is administrative, not legal. We do not draft documents
or offer legal advice. Instead, we work closely with counsel to implement and administer the trusts you design. Attorneys maintain their advisory role and client relationship, while
our team ensures the trust operates in full compliance with governing documents and state law.

This partnership allows attorneys to expand their estate planning capabilities while protecting their clients and their practice from
the burdens of trustee liability.

At Independent Trust Company, we also focus on delivering trust and estate solutions that strengthen client relationships. Our partnership enables attorneys to offer a full array of trust options and strategies to their clients, while relying on a responsive and experienced fiduciary to manage the administration.

By working together, attorneys can provide comprehensive trust services with confidence that every detail will be handled professionally and in accordance with best practices.
