A trust is only as sound as the administration beneath it. Amicorp Trustees (South Dakota) provides the full operational backbone that institutional clients, family offices, and their advisors require — from safekeeping assets and maintaining precise custody records, to managing the corporate entities that often sit within or alongside trust structures. We ensure the mechanics never become the distraction.

As a state-chartered, non-depository Public Trust Company since 2018, Amicorp Trustees (South Dakota) acts as institutional trustee, directed trustee, or co-trustee — serving the full range of clients who have come to recognize South Dakota as home for their most important structures. We combine institutional rigor with the responsiveness your advisors and families expect.

Amicorp was founded on the belief that trust — in the human sense — must precede every structure that bears the word. We have served families, institutions, and advisors across generations because we understand that relationships outlast any single transaction.

Our South Dakota trust company brings that depth of cross-border expertise to clients whose wealth, families, and advisors span multiple countries and legal systems.
