A South Dakota Statement of Dissociation is a legal document used to dissolve a business partnership or association. It is filed with the South Dakota Secretary of State and is used to protect the individual partners from liability related to the business. The document outlines the dissolution of the partnership, including how assets and liabilities will be divided among the partners. There are two types of South Dakota Statement of Dissociation: voluntary and involuntary. A voluntary dissolution occurs when the partners agree to end the partnership. An involuntary dissolution occurs when the partnership is terminated by the court because of legal action. In either case, the South Dakota Statement of Dissociation must be filed with the state in order for the dissolution to be officially recognized.
