When Sarah's father passed away, she assumed the estate he left behind would be divided fairly among her and her two siblings, as outlined in his will. But things quickly became complicated. Her brother, Mark, who had been helping manage their father's business, claimed their father had verbally promised him a larger share of the estate. He contested the will, arguing that he deserved the family home and a significant portion of the business. To make matters worse, Sarah discovered a series of questionable financial decisions made by Mark in the months leading up to their father's death. Suspicion grew that he had been using his role as power of attorney to benefit himself.

Beware of Jury Scams

Recently, the Court has been alerted to several jury scams that have taken place across the district. In four separate incidents, South Dakota residents were contacted via phone and told that they were in contempt of court for failure to appear for jury duty. Please know, the court will always send a jury summons by U.S. Mail. The summons will never request a credit/debit card number, bank routing number, account number, wire transfer, or demand any type of payment over the phone.
