Excellent service. Pay your fee, download the form and fill out according to specific instructions. Then, again according to instructions, take it to the county clerk's office and have it recorded. It could not be easier.

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.

Have not actually filed as yet but package seems to answer all my questions and believe this will be a walk in the park instead a a headache or expensive endeavor. Thanks.
