After some initial general confusion -- (we sold a small piece of land privately and therefore do not typically prepare such documentation (!)) -- we were able to purchase and download all forms from Deeds.com and understand how to complete it/them. The help is all there, we just needed to read and study it - the "Example" helped alot. We were able to complete the Document per your online form(s) and then take it to be signed/notarized - and take the completed paper document to the Registry -- and it is now all registered and we are All Set. Took the morning (only). THANK YOU. A wonderful tool!!
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

I'm 84 and not all that smart when it comes to what a Lawyer usually helps you with, but I took a chance to see if I could do this. Walla, I was able to do it. I was helping my son who had a stroke a few years ago and the transaction went well. Thank you.
Thank you for your feedback Jacqueline. We appreciate you.
