Waiting for response to questions about TOD deed. Language doesn't accommodate more than one Grantor and user cannot edit language.

Peter, thank you for your feedback. We're sorry our form didn't meet your needs. We've issued a full refund for your order. Please note that our forms are designed for common transfer scenarios, and we're unable to provide legal advice or guidance on how to complete them. If your situation involves multiple grantors or other complexities, we'd recommend consulting with a local real estate attorney who can ensure your deed is properly drafted for your specific circumstances. We wish you the best.

The Personal Representatives Deed is definitely a helpful document for my files. I find it need just a little tweaking by deeds.com , There should be more space for the legal description. I did see in the FAQ's you recommend putting it in the Exhibit and this is what I did. Also I couldn't get the year to be accepted and had to write it in. These are just some minor suggestions, on the whole I was grateful to find this document. Thank you.

The forms are nice; however, they do not display the "th" after the day or the second digit of the year. You can type them in, but they will not print out. I just left them blank and will handwrite.
