Deeds.com was such a blessing in order for me to get something done that my lawyers could not get done. Transferring a mineral right from my deceased parents to me and my husband. The mineral company person I worked with went above and beyond helping me fill the paperwork out perfectly so that it had “right of survivorship” (and other things phrased properly) so that either my husband or I won’t have the issue I have had. Had it not been for deeds.com I don’t think I would have been able to complete this process. I hope anyone that ever needs something such as this learns about I deeds.com.
Thank you, Julia, for your kind and thoughtful review. We're truly honored to have played a role in helping you and your husband secure your mineral rights — especially after such a frustrating experience elsewhere. It’s great to hear that our team and resources were able to guide you through the process with clarity and care. Your words mean a lot to us, and we hope others in similar situations find the support they need through Deeds.com, just like you did. Wishing you continued peace of mind and security with your property.

You had the generic document that I was looking for Yay! The "example" page was helpful and reassuring. The auto input sections of my document looked ok until i printed it and then it appeared to be out of alignment which is why my rating is lowered to 4 stars it would be nice to have the ability to correct the title (created by me) when downloading PDFs for an e-filing
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Very easy to use. Time will tell if I have any issues getting it recorded. Beats using an attorney who won't return calls and emails like I used before. I like the form plus instructions and an example of the completed form.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

The docs were precise and accurate for my specific needs. I greatly appreciated the accompanying forms and instructional guidance to help make the use of the forms direct and easy to complete. Equally important, I was not suckered in to get a great price for the docs I needed only to be led to expensive subscriptions or additional fees. Very impressive and professional site.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Navigating the site was fine, but the service was not able to find my deed. Still have not received my refund.
Thanks for your feedback Kenneth. Sorry we were not able to pull the deed for your property. We voided your payment on December 28, 2018. Sometimes, depending on your financial institution, it can take a few days for the pending charge (hold) to expire.

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!
