South Dakota homeowners who sell their house now get to protect more money from creditors—the exemption increases from $60,000 to $100,000 for one year after the sale. For homeowners age 70 or older (or their surviving spouses), the exemption is even higher at $170,000, and this protection also applies when a court divides a homestead between spouses.
