Questions answered? Let's get started!

This document allows someone to swear they have reviewed a death certificate and verify its contents for real estate transactions when the actual death certificate cannot be attached to the paperwork.

What this form DOES:

Confirms someone has seen and reviewed a certified death certificate
Provides sworn verification of death certificate details (date of death, state issued, certificate number, etc.)
Serves as a substitute for attaching the actual death certificate to real estate documents

What this form DOES NOT do:

This is NOT an "Affidavit of Death" (which removes deceased owners from property titles)
Does not transfer property ownership or update property records
Does not serve as official notice of death to banks or other institutions
Does not affect how property passes to survivors

When to use this form:

Use only when a title company, lender, or other party in a real estate transaction specifically requires verification that a death certificate exists but does not require the actual certificate to be submitted.

Very easy to use and no hidden costs. You get to download whatever you need and can save it and even reuse it. So it's like having your own library of form that you pay for once. They even give you more related forms than you ask for and it turned out we needed some if those forms as well. The forms meet what our county requires for margins in records and so on. So I will use deeds.com again when I need a different kind of legal form.

Exactly what I needed and VERY fair price. I paid $19.97 for what a local attorney wanted $200 to do. I filled out the form using the line by line guide and filed it at the court house today. Absolutely no problems.

My overall experience was positive. Little trouble uploading documents but resolved. I had two mineral deeds to file in Arkansas, two different counties, exactly the same form, only difference being property description; one was completed, one was canceled. I emailed to inquire why and the reply was in an automatic email indicating that email address was not monitored and if further action would be taken on Deeds.com part, I would be notified. Other than that, I would recommend their services to avoid using snail mail.
