An arrangement is a South Dakota special spousal trust if one or both spouses in a marriage transfer property to a trust, the trust expressly declares that some or all the property transferred is South Dakota special spousal property as provided in this chapter, and at least one trustee is a qualified person. A South Dakota special spousal trust is enforceable without consideration. Both spouses or either spouse may be a trustee. The trust must be signed by both spouses. The trust may be revocable or irrevocable.
For purposes of this section, a qualified person is any person who meets the requirements of §§ 55-3-41 and 55-3-39 , but without regard to whether that person is the transferor.
