Estate Planning Services in South Dakota

Legal Insights to Secure a Prosperous Future for Your Family

Aspen Legacy Planning focuses on estate and business planning, probate, trust administration, and elder law in western South Dakota. Since his introduction into law 30 years ago, Principal Attorney Stephen Wesolick has been there to help his clients obtain the future they want for their families. Our team takes a personalized, results-driven approach to ensure your needs are met and your loved ones receive that to which they are entitled.

Complete Care for Your Family’s Assets

Using WealthCounsel® and ElderCounsel®, Aspen Legacy Planning is able to provide faster, more comprehensive estate planning for our clients. With an up-to-date understanding of modern laws on the subject, we can help you make the best use of your available legal options to preserve your family’s property for generations. 

We have worked hard to ensure that our firm is different than most because we have a passion for this work and feel there is a gap in most families’ plans. While many firms mainly address “after death” issues—leaving families vulnerable when the unexpected happens “during life”—we help families effectively plan their estate and leave a meaningful legacy. 

When clients come to us, they entrust us with their families, fortunes (family, business, wealth, values, memories, or any other good fortune), and futures, and we take that responsibility very seriously.
