To redeem the land conveyed under an Arizona beneficiary deed, the named beneficiary must submit specific documentation to the recorder for the county where the deed was originally recorded. In general, this includes an official copy of the owner's death certificate and a copy of the recorded beneficiary deed. When a completed affidavit of death form accompanies these documents, the beneficiary formalizes the information within the context of a sworn statement.

I purchased the Notice of Completion form because the City of Chula Vista did not have a "fillable" version of this form on their website. The Deeds.com version of this form is somewhat different than the City's version (8 numbered paragraphs vs. 11 numbered paragraphs.) However, it contains the same information in a different format. This form provided more blank space to fill in important items- like a long ownership name- than the version on the City's website. The recorder's office was satisfied with this form as I hand-delivered it to the Recorder's Office and they approved it for recording. Overall, I found this form easy to use and found the extra blank space for writing on the form helpful. My one comment for possible improvement is: it would be even more helpful (particularly for attorney users) to have strike-out capability. I would have liked having the ability to strike-out inapplicable portions of long awkward sentences. Still, I would use this form again.
Your feedback means a lot to us. Thank you.

Although I am sure that the Quit Claim form was acceptable for my county, I felt that it was not formatted in the manor that I have seen while viewing the other deeds recorded. So that forms that I received were not useful to me.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
