Breeze.... It feels silly to hire an attorney to do this for just one beneficiary. Thanks.

Found the service useful and straightforward. The only recommendation would be to send an e-mail notification to the request or when their package is ready for download. Mine, apparently, was ready within and hour or so after placing the request but did not go back onto the site until a day later to find it was ready.

Very easy & efficient to use! I would have had to drive an hour to the county office. So glad this worked instead!
You should advertise more....if I hadn't done research I would never have known about your service.

Working with one document at a time every thing was great, but the program will not let multiple documents save independently. When I saved a document and created another document the changes I made on the second document were on the 1st document. No big deal if your printing, but if your saving to email later, its an issue.

The system was easy to use and download my documents but the way the packages are set up it was confusing and I wish there was a way to delete an item from a package if you make a mistake.

The actual transfer of deed form seems to be the only one not fillable in Adobe. Seems odd.
